Historic American Newspapers Web Resource

The National Endowment for the Humanities and the Library
of Congress have launched Chronicling America: Historic
American Newspapers, a web resource that allows you to
search and read newspaper pages from 1900-1910 and find
information about American newspapers published between
1690-present.

Currently, researchers may search for newspaper pages for the
years 1900 to 1910 from the following states: California,
District of Columbia, Florida, Kentucky, New York, Utah, and
Virginia.

In addition, information about historic newspapers is available
for papers published from 1690 to the present. Details
include date published, frequency, publishers, other
titles, and information about holdings. For example, the Manlius
Times was published weekly from 1809 - 1818; a selection
of issues may be found at the Onondaga County Historical
Association, the New York Public Library and Houghton
Library at Harvard.
