Discover the British Newspaper Archive

Unlock millions of historic newspaper pages from across the UK and Ireland. Whether you're researching family history, exploring local stories, or diving into historical events, the British Newspaper Archive (BNA) is now available free to use inside the library. And the best part: anything you save during your visit can be accessed again from home with your own free BNA account.

The BNA offers access to;

  • Millions of digitised newspaper pages from the 1700s to the 20th century.
  • Ideal for genealogy, school projects, local history, and personal research.
  • Easy to search and organise.
  • Completely free when accessed in either the Picton or Blenheim branch of the Marlborough District Libraries libraries.

The best part is, as a member of the Marlborough District Libraries, you can access this service for free from inside either the Picton or Blenheim libraries. Please note, you need to be physically located in the library to access this service.
