Access to Manx National Heritage’s online newspaper archive was due to cease from 12 October while efforts continued to identify a replacement platform.
We have now successfully established a temporary fix that will allow short term access to the archive to remain available on the current platform.
This means users can continue to search and view the archive while plans are further developed for a secure, sustainable long-term service over the coming months.
The level of public interest in the archive has been extraordinary. We have received countless messages from researchers, family historians and supporters both on and off the Island, highlighting the importance of this resource.
We are extremely grateful to everyone who has offered support, assistance and encouragement, and we appreciate the patience shown while we continue to work to secure the archive’s future.
