Port Phillip Herald
The Port Phillip Herald was one of the earliest newspapers published in the then township of Melbourne soon after it was founded in the colony of Victoria in the early 19th century. It became the precursor of the Herald and Weekly Times newspaper empire, now part of The News Corporation. The Paper of Record website contains all 57,000 pages of the Port Phillip Herald published between 1840-1880. But NOTE - it is not perfect.  Some of the original papers were poorly printed, or have not been looked after as well as they should and some pages are hard to read.  It is searchable by keyword, making it a valuable tool.

Internet Library of Early Journal
ILEJ was a joint project by the Universities of Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester and Oxford, conducted under the auspices of the eLib (Electronic Library) programme.  It aimed to digitise substantial runs of 18th and 19th century journals and make these images available on the Internet, together with their associated bibliographic data.  The project ceased in 1999 and no additional material will be added. The journals include: Gentleman's Magazine; Notes and Queries; Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society and Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine.
