Home access India/Ceylon source for British Library Reader Pass holders

[MaureenE]

The British Library's Reader Pass holders are  able to to remotely access the following database on their computers at home, which appear to contains some newspapers from the Great War Period for India and Ceylon.

 

The database is called "South Asian Newspapers, 1864-1922"  and the relevant newspapers which include the Great War period are

• Tribune Lahore 1881-1922
• Ceylon Observer Colombo 1864-1922

 

Other English language newspapers included in this database are 

• Pioneer Allahabad 1865-1903
• Madras Mail 1868-1889

 

I don't know how complete the actual newspaper coverage is.
