Better facilities for searching historic Oxfordshire newspapers

Recent visitors to Oxfordshire Studies at Westgate, Oxford, may have noticed the addition of a shiny new microfilm reader to our existing range of equipment.
This increases the number of large-screen film readers to six, and has been achieved through a generous donation from the Oxfordshire Family History Society.

So now we can accommodate even more users of historic newspapers and wills on microfilm, but do give us a call on 01865 815749 to book a reader before you make a special trip.



Jackson's Oxford Journal 1800-1900

You can also enjoy free online access to the fully-searchable content of Jackson's Oxford Journal 1800-1900, our oldest county newspaper, through Oxfordshire Libraries Reference Online service.
 
This is one of the many titles available in the 19th Century British Library Newspapers collection.

You can access Reference Online at Oxfordshire Studies, Oxfordshire Record Office and in all Oxfordshire libraries, as well as from home using your library ticket.
