The Local Studies Library has a large repository of national and provincial newspapers in microfilm and hardcopy format. Some unique Cork newspapers include the Cork Gazette and General Advertiser (1795), People’s Press and Cork Weekly (1834-1836) and the Southern Patriot (Mallow, 1844).

We also provide access for library patrons to the Irish Newspaper Archive, which is the largest digital archive of Irish newspapers in the world, giving access to over 40 titles and millions of newspaper articles spanning 300 years of Irish History. The Irish News Archive website can be accessed on the public PC in the Local Studies Library.
