This is a presentation to coincide with the newly released Welsh Newspaper Online project. The National Library of Wales has digitised 2 million pages of newspapers and journals published in Wales before 1911.

The presentation will show how the website works and how to get the best out of it. Demonstrating that audiences worldwide will be able to access the information and discover countless nuggets of facts, forgotten incidents and interesting miscellany that would otherwise remain hidden with the heavy dusty covers of the volumes in Aberystwyth. Accessing the digital images will be free of charge for all!
