The Los Angeles Times Historical Archive, 1881-1992<\/strong>, delivers unique coverage of the development of Southern California and the American West. This was a period of great change with rails connecting the East and West coast of America for the first time, oil being discovered in Los Angeles, a wave of immigration of peoples from East Asia and South America along with former slaves from the South, the film industry’s move to Hollywood and rapid expansion, shipbuilding and citrus growing becoming major industries and much more.<\/p>\n

As well as “local” news though the Los Angeles Times<\/em> gives you\u00a0 a different perspective on international events happening during that period. The Library already subscribes to the Historical New York Times (1851-2012)<\/strong>, New York Tribune (1841-1922)<\/strong> and the Historical Washington Post (1877-1999)<\/strong> via the same provider and the Los Angeles Times Historical Archive<\/strong> provides a valuable alternative voice.<\/p>\n

Access via e-resources trials<\/a><\/strong>.
\nAccess available until 30th November 2016.<\/em>
\n**Trial access has now been extended until 31st December 2016**<\/em>
\nFeedback welcome<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Library already subscribes to a large number of digital newspaper archives. These can be accessed on the Newspapers databases<\/strong><\/a> page, along with databases that give access to current newspapers.<\/p>\n

Access is only available to current students and staff at University of Edinburgh.<\/p>\n
