Vicki’s note – Wisconsin residents (and visitors to Wisconsin) now have access to this historic newspaper database which replaces Access Newspaper Archives. It will be available through the Beloit Public Library homepage soon – “beloitlibrary.org” > “resources“. You can also access it here. Newspapers.com Library Edition – World Collection!
At the Library, we have relied so much on Access Newspaper Archives for local and Wisconsin genealogy reference answers. Wisconsin Badgerlink had to seek new database contracts, and Proquest’s Newspapers.com Library Edition – World Collection won the bid. Yet it took awhile (months) for the final contract, so we have been without historic newspaper content on-line. We will see how this one compares, but I am glad to have any after so much time.
Thank you Wisconsin for coming through with this.
Newspapers.com Library Edition – World Collection now available
The BadgerLink Team is pleased to announce the availability of Newspapers.com Library Edition – World Collection!
Wisconsin residents now have access to historical newspapers from the 1700s – 2000s. Newspapers.com contains thousands of well-known regional, state, and small local newspapers in the United States and other countries. There are 150 Wisconsin-specific titles including the Janesville Daily Gazette, the Racine Daily Herald, the Eau Claire Leader, and many more. New content is continually added as it becomes available.
Newspapers.com allows users to browse and read historic newspaper content directly from their web browser or mobile device as well as save or print clippings. Newspaper content is presented in its original form, so overall context is preserved. All the pages on Newspapers.com have been indexed using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) which allows users to search for specific names and keywords across all available papers.
Newspapers.com joins the Archive of Wisconsin Newspapers and U.S. Newsstream to provide Wisconsin residents with a robust collection of newspaper content, both current and historic.
