Research local newspapers
Some Local Studies centres also keep hard‑copy newspapers for its area, with some titles supported by name and subject indexes. We’re always happy to help you find what you need.
Local newspapers hold everyday stories and records that bring Fife’s past to life.
Did you know, we hold microfilm copies of key Fife titles, including:
- Central Fife Times
- Dunfermline Press
- East Fife Mail
- Fife Free Press
- Fife Herald
- Glenrothes Gazette
- St Andrews Citizen
Local newspaper index
Use our Local Newspaper Index to search selected newspapers covering Central and West Fife. The index is growing, so it won’t include everything — but our staff can help fill in the gaps.
Tips for using the index
• Use the Title field when searching for a person’s name.
• For a single year, enter the year in Start Date and the next year in End Date.
• To search one title, select it from the Source field.
• For North East Fife, use Ancestry Institution on any library PC or email localstudies.cupar@onfife.com.
