Andy   10 #4 Posted April 25, 2004 It depends how far back you need to go:  If it's quite recent, you can search the online archives at http://www.sheffieldtoday.net - however it only goes back a year or so, and only includes the stories which appeared online. Therefore if it's not a major story, you won't find it.  Alternatively, the City Library has the Sheffield Star on microfilm, but you need to book a viewer. They also have files of items relating to specific subjects from the local papers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

They also have files of items relating to specific subjects from the local papers.  As Andy has said the City Library is probably your best bet, I have also been to the Sheffield Star to view archives in the past, but I was shocked and disapointed in how their archive system worked.  You will need the The Local Studies Library section, upstairs in the main library. Local newspapers are on microfilm. The main titles are the Sheffield & Rotherham Independent 1819 - 1938, the Sheffield Daily Telegraph 1855 - 1986, The Star 1890 to date, The Sheffield telegraph (weekly) 1989 to date and the Green Un 1907 to date. There are subject files of news cuttings from 1958 to date, mostly on microfiche . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
qazitory   10 #7 Posted April 26, 2004 I think if it is a few months back, you can go to the Star's offices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

jmdee   10 #10 Posted October 30, 2011 I hear the Star did a retro feature on the area around Neepsend a few weeks ago. Can anyone tell me how to access this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
PopT   10 #11 Posted November 4, 2011 I have searched the Star Newspaper microfiches for hours and haven´t had much success.  The problem is the microfiches do not contain the full pages only selected items and they do not cover all the different district editions.  If you are looking for any Sheffield local district items they may not have a copy.  On saying this te journey travelling through the past news is such a memory blast, I found the effort was well worth the serches.  Happy Days!
