eNewspapers and eMagazines
Access eNewspapers and eMagazines for FREE with your library membership.
The State Library subscribes to many newspapers in electronic format. These titles include regional Western Australian newspapers, a selection of Australian newspapers and many titles from around the world. All titles are available on the catalogue computers in the State Library. Members can also access eNewspapers from home.
The State Library members and WA Public Library members also have access to selected eMagazines via OverDrive.
Browse the State Library's collection of eNewspapers or search the catalogue to see what newspaper titles are available. Highlighted collections are listed below:
Access to the West Australian Digital Archive & West Australian Daily Edition
Due to a change in Seven West Media’s licensing terms, from 18th December 2023 The West Australian Digital Archive and West Australian Daily Edition will only be accessible when using State Library computers within the State Library building. You can no longer access The West Australian newspaper in its original format from home.
We know this is disappointing for many of our members. The State Library has a wide range of eNewspapers and eMagazines available that can be accessed from home with your State Library membership on platforms including:
You can still access full-text articles from The West Australian via NewsBank.
Physical copies including the current day newspaper are available to read in the State Library or through local public libraries across the State.
