Birmingham evening mail archive pictures

A great resource for nostalgia enthusiasts!

The Birmingham Evening Mail (now known as the Birmingham Mail) has an extensive archive of photographs dating back to the 19th century. While the paper's online archive is not publicly accessible, I can suggest some ways to access these historic images:

  1. Birmingham Library: The Birmingham Library has an extensive collection of local newspapers, including the Birmingham Evening Mail. You can visit the library and access their archives, which include photographs, articles, and other historical materials.
  2. Local Studies Centre: The Local Studies Centre at Birmingham City Council's Archives and Heritage Service also has a vast collection of local newspapers, including the Birmingham Evening Mail. You can visit the centre and access their archives, which include photographs, maps, and other historical materials.
  3. Online archives: Some online archives, such as the British Newspaper Archive (BNA) and Findmypast, offer scanned copies of the Birmingham Evening Mail and other local newspapers. These archives may not have all the photographs, but they can provide a good starting point for your research.
  4. Local history societies: Local history societies, such as the Birmingham History Forum and the Birmingham and Black Country History Society, often have access to historical photographs and documents. You can contact these societies to see if they have any relevant materials.
  5. Google Images: You can also try searching for specific events, people, or places on Google Images. You may stumble upon historical photographs from the Birmingham Evening Mail or other local sources.
