About this project
Past editions of the Whitehaven News are held at Whitehaven Archive and Local Studies Centre. The issues covering the time of the Great War have been indexed by a group of volunteers in an eighteen-month long project undertaken to commemorate the centenary of the outbreak of war, and to act as a lasting memorial to all whose lives were touched by the events.
