This guide describes sources of current, contemporary (recent past), and historical newspapers available in print or electronically via the Boston College Libraries and/or on the Internet. The guide also includes sources of information useful for identifying, finding, and searching newspapers, such as: availability of newspapers at other institutions; newspaper directories; and newspaper indexes. For further information on these resources or to schedule a research consultation, contact Kenneth Liss, reference librarian/bibliographer for Communication, via e-mail, IM, or phone (Contact info is in the box on the right side of this page.)
