As a new American nation emerged in the 1800s, the first draft of history was written by those who experienced it and recorded it on the pages of urban and rural newspapers. Nineteenth Century U.S. Newspapers<\/strong> gives you access to 1.8 million pages of such newspapers from around the U.S. that you can search or browse.<\/p>\n

The collection features publications of all kinds, from the political party newspapers at the beginning of the nineteenth century to the mammoth dailies that shaped the nation at the century’s end. Every aspect of society and every region of the nation is found in the archive — rural and urban, large cities and small towns, and coast to coast. Includes major newspapers as well as those published by African Americans, Native Americans, women’s rights groups, labor groups, the Confederacy, and other groups and interests. Also included are illustrated papers that bring the nineteenth century to life through the drawings of many artists.<\/p>\n
