Hi again LuAnn

The Press and Journal, often called the P&J, is a daily regional newspaper serving the northern areas of Scotland including the cities of Aberdeen and Inverness. Established in 1748 as the Aberdeen Journal, it is Scotland's oldest daily newspaper.

I have posted a link below for you that you can look at

Scroll down till you see the 'The local Collections' and that will give you info on accessing the Aberdeen Journal dating from 1748-1861. There's also other useful resources there too. Hope that helps you a bit

Wendy
