This page provides access points to Boston College Libraries' access to historical news from the 17th to the 21st centuries. It's strengths are in U.S. and British 19th and 20th century news.
For U.S. collections, see the first box of "U.S. Newspapers" with larger collections on the first tab and then regional or individual titles on the subpages.
For collections of papers outside the U.S. (i.e., Britain, China, etc.) see the second box. Note that for collections outside of the U.S., material is often in languages other than English. We do, however, have some subscriptions to translated news.
Make sure to check out the broader, international collections for recent coverage.
Several newspapers are available in microform at O'Neill Library, including:
These papers and others are shelved on O'Neill Level 1 by title.
Boston Public Library offers the most complete collection of Boston-area newspapers on microfilm, as well as other titles from Massachusetts and beyond.
Center for Research Libraries has a large collection of U.S. and foreign newspapers.
Mostly on microfilm, our membership with CRL entitles the BC community to borrow large amounts of this material for extended periods.
