For graduate students who need to access the Burney Collection of Early English Newspapers on microfilm, there is now a reel and issue index for this collection. Since this collection was filmed in chronological order, you may still need to scan a reel or two to find the specific issue you are looking for, but the new indexes provide information on which newspaper titles are covered for a given year as well as which issues are included. These indexes were based on the manuscript catalog for the collection, so if you find an issue or title not included, please contact us!
