The Central Library is offering to library members its hard-copy vintage collection of The Times, dating from 1946 through to the start of 1976. Each issue is for sale at $5 per copy but there is only one copy of each date. Please note that this collection excludes the Sunday Times which was, and remains, a separate newspaper editorially.
This is an ideal quirky gift for anyone born between 1946 and 1976; please pre-order your copy by visiting or phoning the 2nd floor reference desk at the Central Library on 04 801 4114.
You can still access and read this entire date-range of The Times for free via the Times Digital Archive on My Gateway.
