Newspaper Archive

Winnipeg Public Library's subscription to Newspaper Archive (including the full archives of the Winnipeg Free Press) has been extended to 24/7 at-home use for 2017. Previously available only on library computers, this resource can now be accessed from home by logging in with your library card.
