Free access to Irish Times archives 150 years
« on: Sunday 29 March 09 10:09 BST (UK) »
Thought this Irish Times site might be of interest to some of you.
The Irish Times newspaper is opening its archives for free access for the next week to celebrate its 150 years. Normally you have to pay to access the archives.


 I tried it out and it works very well.  The Archives go back to 1859.

Yes, a great treat- free until 5th of April. It was posted on the Ireland-General board yesterday.
