Electronic full-page newspaper archive from June 1844 to 2017. In recent years, it is the Metro edition of which the National Edition is a subset. Coverage includes all the stories, plus thousands of images, advertisements, classifieds, political cartoons, births and deaths from the pages of Canada's national newspaper, dating back to the pre-confederation era.

Globe and Mail is available in print, at several UBC Library branches and in microform in Koerner Library.
