Anyone know where any Perthshire papers are available online? Or whether there are any plans for this. I know a lot are indexed at the AKBell Library but its a bit hard to get there from Australia! I wonder whether they will put it online. I heard a snippet that they were supposed to be on Ancestry or planned, but I can't find any there either.
Thanks
Robert

About Perth, Scotland Newspaper Index Cards, 1809-1990
This database contains a collection of index cards referencing articles and announcements found in several Perth area newspapers from 1809-1990 (with a gap in coverage from 1890-1920). The collection is from the AK Bell Local Studies Department. Most of the cards reference births, deaths, retrials, golden and diamond wedding anniversaries, personal achievements, or personal tragedies.

Most of the cards reference births, deaths, retrials, golden and diamond wedding anniversaries, personal achievements, or personal tragedies.
About one-third of the cards are typewritten and were compiled as part of a Manpower Services Commission project during the 1980s. The remaining two-thirds are handwritten and were compiled by library staff over the years.
The majority of the cards reference articles and announcements from The Perthshire Advertiser (PA), The Perthshire Courier (Cou), The Blairgowrie Advertiser (BA), and the Strathearn Herald (SH). However, Kinross-shire Advertiser (KA) and Perthshire Constitutional and Journal (Con) are also occasionally referenced."
