Try out Proquest's Historical Newspapers: Irish Times - a possible alternative to the Irish Times Digital Archive

DIT Library Services currently subscribes to the Irish Times Digital Archive, which is a complete reproduction of every page of the Irish Times from 1859 to one week ago, searchable by keyword or date.

Given that the Irish Times has moved to a paid subscription model for its current content, we are also  reviewing our options regarding our access to the Irish Times historical content.

We have organised a trial to ProQuest Historical Newspapers: The Irish Times and the Weekly Irish Times, which is the database the Irish universities use access the Irish Times historical content.

Please try out Proquest Historical Newspapers and let us know how you think it compares to the Irish Times Digital Archive.
