Trial access to RetroNews, a French newspaper database, until 28 February

As a National Library customer, you can read newspapers remotely, use the advanced search, and explore related articles, videos and podcasts (Rubriques). These features, along with content published after 1954, are unavailable in the free version of RetroNews. Explore all that the database has to offer during the February trial!

You can access the database in the National Library’s search service.

Access requires a National Library card and a login to the National Library’s search service. On-site use at the library also requires logging in to the search service. Please note that when logging in with Haka or Finna credentials, you must have a National Library card attached to the account. If you do not have a National Library card, please see the instructions for applying for the card.
