Please email library@sheffield.ac.uk to make an appointment to view a newspaper on microfilm.
We will need to know which newspaper you would like to view and the newspaper date range that you'd like to look at. A member of staff will retrieve the microfilm before you visit and can also show you how to use the microfilm reader.
