On trial: East African Newspapers

*The Library now has permanent access to this resource. See New! East African Newspapers.*

Thanks to a request from staff in HCA the Library currently has trial access to East African Newspapers from EastView, featuring key newspapers from the region from the 1940s to the early 2000s.

You can access the East African Newspapers via the E-resources trials page.

Trial access ends 2nd April 2023.

The East African Newspapers collection provides insight into this region during the 20th and early 21st centuries, a time of great change for Africa. In East Africa, this time witnessed the growth of decolonization as independence movements swelled, and local, autonomous self-governance took hold throughout the region. This period was also punctuated by famine, drought, political uprisings, border disputes, and war as countries worked to navigate the post-colonial landscape. The collection includes 3 key newspapers: Daily Nation (Kenya), The Ethiopian Herald, and The Monitor (Uganda).

You can access the East African Newspapers via the E-resources trials page.
Trial access ends 2nd April 2023.
Feedback welcome.

You can find the large range of historical newspapers the Library already has online access to on our Newspapers, Magazines and Other News Sources guide.

Please note, trial access to a resource is an opportunity for our staff and students to try a resource out and give feedback on its quality and usefulness. However, if we trial a resource this is not an indication that we plan to or will be able to purchase or subscribe to the resource in the near future.
