We ran out of time in our #TwitterChat hour but there's lots more to explore - a brief guide on TV & Radio News to get you started - https://t.co/wWl28ne6fF Thanks to @BL_newsroom #BLRefChat
@BL_Ref_Services And 100,000 TV news programmes, around 50,000 radio news programmes, and the 2,000 news websites we archive on a daily or weekly basis....
The British Newspaper Archive is our main source for accessing digitised local and regional UK newspapers, with over 37 Million pages! These range from 1700s - early 2000s and you can search using keywords, names, places and dates, or browse titles by date alone #BLRefChat
Ah the old paper request forms. For BL newbies, this is how newspaper orders used to be placed! #BLRefChat
Lovely memories of Colindale, thank you #BLRefChat
When Colindale closed the print newspapers were sent to the new national newspaper storage building at our site in Boston Spa, Yorkshire. The microfilm collection now resides at St Pancras and both collections can be ordered to be read at either site #BLRefChat
Did you know Colindale was struck by a bomb in 1940, resulting in the loss of 6,000 volumes of newspapers and causing damage to a further 15,000? #BLRefChat
For many years the newspapers were housed at the newspaper library in Colindale, North London. Do we have any ex-Colindale readers with us today? What are your favourite memories of the newspaper library? (image R.Sones wikimedia commons) #BLRefChat
The second is the Burney collection of 17th and 18th century newspapers, collected by Dr Charles Burney, and encompassing 1271 titles and almost a million pages. You can read more on these here - https://t.co/TEiXMl3mwn #BLRefChat
The newspaper collections were formed from two special collections of early English newspapers, the first being the Thomason Tracts - newspapers and news-books from the English Civil War Period. You can find out more about these here - https://t.co/esQ0Gts3Nb #BLRefChat

A big thank you to everyone who followed or participated in this afternoon's #BLRefChat! We hope you found it helpful. Stay safe.
The Karlsruher Virtueller Katalog (KVK) also has a useful function that allows you to cross-search a number of sources of digital books to check if a particular item has been digitised: https://t.co/AGtQTi5HFm #BLRefChat
This Collection Guide on our website also provides a bit more information about our digitised books that are freely available online: https://t.co/rWQAEkR1GE #BLRefChat
To view a particular book, follow the option to view the digital item in the 'I want this' tab of the catalogue record #BLRefChat (2/2)
Many of our early printed books have been digitised and are available to view online. Searching our online catalogue and selecting the online filter under 'Access options' is the best way to find these. #BLRefChat (1/2)
