    Weekend Australian Review access[edit]

    Hi, I've already asked at the WP Library for this, but there hasn't been much uptake and someone suggested asking here. I'm trying to get hold of a copy of the following article that was in the Weekend Australian Review in 1991. I'm hoping someone here has access or is able to get it:

    • Jones, K (23 March 1991). "The blitz and all that jazz". Weekend Australian Review.

    If anyone can help here, I'd be extremely grateful! Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 12:43, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    The paper's own archives don't have it. Your best bet maybe a library near you. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 14:08, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Unfortunately my local library doesn't even hold archives of British newspapers, let alone foreign ones - but your idea has reminded me that the British Library may be able to help, if no-one else can. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 14:25, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I have just checked online via Newsbank at SLSA - unfortunately the weekend editions only seem to be digitised as far back as 1998. I expect this would be the same for any online access? The microform suggestion may be your best hope. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 00:55, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'll be at the State Library in a few weeks and could get a copy for you. They have a microfilm archive. Was it just this one article you're after? Jimmyjrg (talk) 23:42, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks Jimmyjrg, that would be great if you could. Yes, it’s just that one article. Cheers. – SchroCat (talk) 04:44, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
