Newspapers as Sources

Newspapers can be great resources for your project.

Here are a few resources.

The New York Times is an important newspaper. It is sometimes called "the newspaper of record" or "the gray lady". All newspapers have a bias; the NYT is usually considered center-left. If you find a NYT article that you want you may hit a paywall (i.e., you have to pay for the article); if this happens send me the info and I can retrieve it for you through my NYT account.


Chronicling America

Chronicling America is a project created by the Library of Congress that has digitized many US newspapers from 1789-1925. The search engine is powerful.

Ohio History Connection

The Ohio History Connection (previously the Ohio Historical Society) is a great resource, especially for topics related in some way to our state.

The Ohio Memory search engine is powerful. For example, one of your classmates is doing the Toledo War of 1835, so I did a quick search.

One quick search yielded a cornucopia of primary sources.
