Historical Brisbane newspapers at SLQ
Historical Brisbane newpapers at the State Library of Queensland
Many researchers forget that historically Brisbane had many newspapers aside from the longstanding Courier Mail.
It is worth examining these rival newspapers as they can contain stories or notices not published in the Courier.
One example is The Truth which regularly published local scandals such as divorce, bigamy, adultery and murder.
Some examples of Brisbane newspapers:
- The Telegraph - 1872 to 1988
- Daily Mail - 1903 to 1933
- The Truth (later titled Sunday Sun) - 1900 to 1992
- The Week - 1876 to 1934
- Moreton Bay Free Press - 1852 to 1859 (imperfect run)
- Queensland Guardian - 1860 to 1868
- The Queenslander - 1866 to 1939
- Evening Observer - 1887 to 1926 (imperfect run)
These titles and more are available on microfilm at the State Library of Queensland. For further information phone us on (07) 3840 7810 or visit our website at http://www.slq.qld.gov.au
