The National Library of Australia has launched a beta page of historic Australian newspapers from 1803 to 1954 that you can view in full for free. The site is similar to The New York Times’ TimeMachine archive except of course that all of the newspapers here are from Australia. At the moment, there are 26 newspapers in digital form covering the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), New South Wales, Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, and Western Australia.
It’s a good resource to bookmark if you’re doing any sort of historical study on Australia or if you just want to see what newspapers looked like in the old days.
