The library provides access to many historical newspaper collections, most which are available with full-page and article images in downloadable PDF format. Articles from historical newspapers are primary sources if the content is original or a first-hand account of an event. A newspaper article written by someone who did not witness or respond to a current event is typically not a primary source.
Search any one of these newspaper collections to learn more about a topic or how an event was covered by local, national and international news sources.
