America’s Newspapers
The America's Newspapers database provides free online access to more than 600 national newspapers (ninety-two from Illinois alone).
These features make this a powerful alternative to using the newspapers‘ own websites:
- You can search for a topic in hundreds of newspapers at once, including favorites such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, and the Chicago Tribune.
- You have free access to older articles that may not be available (or may not be free) from the newspaper sites; articles date back at least five years for most papers.
- You can choose one paper and browse a specific date; articles are added frequently.
- If you‘re looking into a current topic, the searching may have been done for you. Check the “Hot Topics“ and “Special Reports” links.
