Hi Mr Gillespie. That sounds great. If you email our newspaper librarian Justin Furlong on jfurlong@nli.ie, he will be able to tell you if we can provide your newspaper with a good home and some TLC.

Thank you very much for taking the time to get in touch…

I have a Dublin Newspaper dated February 20 1759. Its four pages and printed on both sides.. The name is “The Public Gazetter” with the name on the top of W. Sleater. And on the last page, it’ talks about William Sleater, at Pope’s Head on Cork-hill. I will be in Dublin for the Notre Dame / Navy football game on the 30thth of Aug. The paper needs a home and proper care, turning brown along the edges.
