Historical Newspapers and Periodicals

Newspapers and periodicals can be valuable primary sources. Use newspapers to trace public debate on a political issue, or to look at trends in advertising and culture. 

Once you identify the person, event, or trend you want to examine, ask yourself about the time period and geographical location. Some newspapers and periodicals are also available online.

Search for journals by title in K-Search, and use the Newspapers search to find newspapers.
