Newspapers & Periodicals

You can search for information about all newspapers held by the National Library, both originals and microfilmed, in LIBRIS and in our online catalog, Regina. Many, but not all, of the periodicals are also found in LIBRIS and Regina.

Newspapers and periodicals are organized into different collections at the National Library. At the National Library, a newspaper refers to a general newspaper of the daily press type, published at least once a week. Professional journals, ordinary weekly magazines, and similar are categorized as periodicals.

The boundary is less clear before 1979. Certain publications in newspaper format were categorized as newspapers, others as journals.
