Create an account to access NYTimes.com
Kenyon College Library provides online access to The New York Times for all current students, staff, and faculty members through a Group Pass.
To gain access, you will need to create an individual login at accessnyt.com and follow these steps:
- Create an individual login by going to accessnyt.com
- Type "Kenyon" in the box and select it from the list
- Follow instructions for On-Campus or Off-campus registration (Off-campus will take you to Kenyon's Single Sign On to authenticate with DUO)
- Create a NYTimes.com account using your Kenyon email address (for security reasons, choose a unique password).
- Students registering for passes will be asked to provide an anticipated graduation year, and passes will remain valid until December of their graduation year

*Faculty/staff accounts will be valid for four years, and require additional registration for subsequent use.
*Access does not include e-reader editions, NYT Cooking, Premium Crosswords, or The New York Times Crosswords apps. Pass users receive access to the New York Times archives (1851-2002) which includes 5 PDF downloads from the Times Machine per day via timesmachine.nytimes.com/browser. Archive articles outside that date range are not subject to that limit. Alternative archive access may be found in the New York Times historical archive from ProQuest Historical New York Times.
