NEWSPAPER CUTTINGS INDEX
Local Studies Section
Bedford Central Library
PLEASE NOTE:
Major famous local people have their own sections in the main A-Z sequence.
The separate BIOGRAPHY section in the Newspaper Cuttings Index contains all
other local people or people with local connections (too numerous to list individually).
People frequently asked for may be listed individually in this Index, but will have
“(Biography Section)” after their names to indicate where the cutting is filed.
To view the cuttings for a particular person, please check the Newspaper Cuttings
card catalogue in the Local Studies Library first in order to get the reference numbers
of the cuttings required.
