Early American Newspapers, Digital

Through a generous gift by Edwin S. Snead, III, the Libraries now have access to the digital collection of the Early American Newspapers. This collection provides access to newspaper articles on history, culture, religion, commerce, education, politics, etc. from the Colonial period through the Civil War. Date coverage includes 1690 – 1876. The database will eventually include more than 1 million pages from newspapers. Early American Newspapers is available under "Online Databases" and through the UR Library Catalog on the Libraries’ web site.
