Description
NewspaperSG is a digital newspaper archive maintained by the National Library Board of Singapore (NLB). The Newspaper Catalogue lists all newspaper titles held by NLB, including those available for free online access and those available only on microfilm. Titles span Singapore and the surrounding region (Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak, Brunei, and China) and are published in Chinese, English, Malay, Tamil, and Japanese. The online collection includes nearly 100 titles with full-text search, covering dates from the mid-nineteenth century through the present. Recent issues (typically the most recent year) are available as preview only; older digitized content is freely accessible without registration. The archive is particularly strong for Singapore English-language newspapers such as The Straits Times (from 1845) and Chinese-language titles.
