History of Worcestershire Newspapers
Newspapers are a marvellous source of information but what they contain varies much according to period. There were restrictions on the press until the aftermath of the ‘Glorious Revolution’ in 1688. After this, newspaper production began in force, with London taking the lead, but the provinces following closely behind. The Berrow's Worcester Journal, the newspaper with the longest continuous history of publication in England, began regularly in 1709. There are even hints that it began earlier in 1690. Stephen Bryan was the proprietor and its first name was The Worcester Postman. It then became Worcester Post/Journal in 1722, the Weekly Worcester Journal in 1730, and Berrow's Worcester Journal in 1753 to distinguish it from another Worcester Journal. In 1937 it merged with The Worcestershire Advertiser to produce the Worcester Evening News & Times.

Information Provided by Worcestershire Newspapers
Newspapers were a way for people to find out about scandal, crime and social events and what was happening nationally. As literacy levels increased, so did the demand and local tradesmen cashed in by advertising profusely. Local newspapers often take a standard format:
• National and county news
• Advertisements
• Court reports
• Local events and family announcements
Limitations of Worcestershire Newspapers
The series of newspapers on microfilm is by no means a complete one; there are many gaps. Also, due to the age of some of the material, there is often damage and degradation. The print is also often very small.
Newspapers, as today, are written with the bias of the reporter, so any information gleaned should be taken with this in mind. Be careful to distinguish facts from opinions.

Ways of Using Worcestershire Newspapers
Newspapers can be used to find out about:
• Births, marriages and deaths and the arrangements surrounding these.
• Local reactions to national events.
• Local events, especially scandalous ones.
• The lives of important local people, especially through obituaries.
• The amount and type of crime in the area and the associated punishments.
• What businesses were in the area?
• What products were available for purchase?

Location of Worcestershire Newspapers
The newspapers held at the Worcestershire Archives and Archaeology Service tend to focus on Worcester City.
Local libraries often hold the papers for their locality. The newspapers are usually on microfilm rather than in hard-copy form.
Using the Handlist
This handlist is arranged in alphabetical order of newspapers. After each list there may be some specific notes that relate to that newspaper, for example, any name changes.
