How to find online newspaper archives between WW1 to WW2 (1920s and 1930s)

Upvote:2

One possibility for UK newspapers is the British Newspaper Archive. They have several subscriptions available and a pay-per-view option.

You can also find some information in the London, Edinburgh and Belfast Gazettes. These are sources for official UK announcements ("published by Aythority"). You can access historic copies for free.

Several of the genealogy sites, such as Ancestry and FindMyPast offer newspapers as part of their subscriptions. I'm not sure how well their collection covers the rest of the world. Most of these sites offer periodic free access weekends if you're able to wait.

Family Search has compiled a list of Digital Historical Newspapers. You can try checking the list for different locations around the world and different time periods.

Hope that helps.
