New pages from Dublin to County Clare
Continuing the theme, we've added four Irish titles to our newspaper archive this week.
Within the pages of Zozimus, you'll find comics and illustrations depicting the prominent social, political and religious issues of 19th-century Ireland. Although this Dublin-based magazine ran for just two years (1870-1872), its pages offer an immersive insight into Irish society at the time.
New titles:
- Zozimus, 1870-1872
- New Ross Reporter, 1897-1901, 1903, 1907-1910
- Clare Champion, 1910-1916
- Offaly Independent, 1910-1911
Updated titles:
- Londonderry Standard, 1901, 1903, 1907-1908, 1925
