Australian Newspapers Online

On 25 July 2008 the National Library of Australia launched the Australian Newspapers Beta service which makes available out-of-copyright digitised Australian newspapers. This online service enables the full-text searching of newspapers published in each state and territory from the 1800s to the mid-1950s. The first Australian newspaper, the Sydney Gazette published in Sydney in 1803, is included in the service.

The Australian Newspapers Beta service already contains over 90,000 newspaper pages from 1803 onwards, with more pages being added daily.
