Subject: newspaper archive services
[from Wesley Raabe, wraabe_at_unlnotes.unl.edu]
The following services (with powerful search tools such as full-text
keyword search and highlighted results) are available:
- Readex Early American Newspapers
- ProQuest American Periodicals Series
- Thomson-Gale 19th Century U.S. Newspapers
I believe that all three are limited to institutional subscribers.
Paperofrecord offers short-term individual subscriptions and a range
of international papers (concentrated on Canada, but also some
Europe, North and South America, and Australia).
The following web sites, which include historical newspapers, are free:
The Daily Eagle from the Brooklyn Public Library has full-text search
and highlighted results: http://www.brooklynpubliclibrary.org/eagle/
The Valley of the Shadow offers a selection of newspaper articles.
http://www.vcdh.virginia.edu/xml_docs/valley_news/html/opening.html
The transcriptions and images are selective.
My dissertation, which includes an electronic edition of the National
Era version of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin is also
available. http://www2.iath.virginia.edu/~wnr4c/index.htm. My
transcription is quite selective--Stowe's text only.
I'd be interested to know of other online newspaper resources.
