Interesting Record: Cork Examiner
The Examiner's files begin in Aug 1841 on the eve of the Great Famine and cover the most cataclysmic period in recent Irish history. Parts of County Cork were among the worst affected areas in the country during the famine; the newspaper chronicles these events.

Internationally, the Examiner was the first European newspaper to carry news of the United States Civil War through its contacts with passing Transatlantic ships; a contact maintained by actually rowing out to the ships for news. It was the last newspaper to take photographs of the Titanic on its maiden voyage and these include recognisable pictures of groups of passengers.
