Bundaberg Regional Libraries (Bundaberg branch) holds microfilm copies of some local newspapers.
-
The collection is not indexed (ie, cannot be searched by keyword. A date, or approximate date, is essential).
-
We do not have a complete archive of every issue of every local paper. Some dates, months, years, within our collection may be absent. Where known the dates that are missing have been noted here.
-
We purchase our copies from the State Library of Queensland. We have exactly the same copies as they hold.
-
You must book at the front desk, or via the catalogue, to use the microfilm readers. Printing is available at cost.
-
Bundaberg News Mail online archive - recent editions (approx. 12 months) are available from the Australia/New Zealand Reference Centre online database. Search under Publications for 'newsmail'.
