Newspapers - Current & Historical

A guide to finding current and historical newspapers at VPL. The focus of our collection is on local BC newspapers, however we also offer access to selected publications from other cities in Canada and around the world.

BC Newspapers in Print and on Microfilm

The primary focus of our print collection is local BC newspapers, as well as some from major Canadian cities & selected international cities.

Cost, demand, reliability & availability are just some of the factors considered before titles are added to the collection & our librarians regularly review our subscriptions.

Titles listed below are divided into 3 geographical sections (alphabetical by city/municipality, then title): BC, Lower Mainland, & Vancouver. Those in languages other than English are noted.

Most BC newspapers are indexed online through EJOURNAL PORTAL, find out which magazines and newspapers you can access online through Vancouver Public Library's subscription databases. Search for individual titles or browse titles by subject.

Most newspapers can be found on Level 5 at the Central Library, L5 and Level 7, Special Collections, L7. Print & microfilm sources are listed under each title.
