Introduction to NEWSPLAN

The NEWSPLAN West Midlands database gives details of some 1100 newspaper titles published in the counties of Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire and in the Metropolitan Boroughs of Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall and Wolverhampton as well as in the Unitary Authorities of Stoke-on-Trent and Telford & Wrekin.

The entries include details of the main titles, showing name changes from previous and successor titles and giving information on the libraries and record offices across the region where copies of the newspapers are held. The entries also indicate if copies are held at the British Library Newspaper Library in London.

Entries generally indicate whether newspapers are held in bound format or on microfilm. In the interests of preserving fragile paper originals, libraries and record offices will not usually permit access to original hard copy newspapers when microfilm copies are available.
