Singapore Newspaper Archives Free Online

Post by Currie » Tue Apr 27, 2010 10:01 am

This is just a short note to bring this newspaper database to the attention of anyone with relatives who lived or worked in the Far East. It contains death notices and the like, some with requests they be repeated in Scottish papers, and much reporting of Scottish events, some relatively trivial, that you wont find in a free Scottish newspaper.

For more information see right at the very bottom of the TS Index page, in the Asia section, where hardly anyone ever goes.

All the best,
Alan

Just for general info for all, after logging into the forum, if you choose the link at the top which says "View new posts", then all posts made since your last visit will be displayed. If using the forum in this way, it does not matter where a post has been placed - all new posts will display. :D

Best wishes
Lesley

The irony though was that this post was the first one on this list of new posts, and the one with the link was second, so I'm reading the first one thinking "a link would have been nice" <g>
