37,500 Free Online U.S. Historical Newspapers Now Available

On this website, the first set of free online links to U.S. historical newspapers was published in February 2014. with about 10,000 titles. There have been at least two updates published each year since then. 

This initial update of 2021 adds another 2,600 titles.

The grand total is about 37,500 links to Historical American Newspapers that can be searched for Free!

More and more newspapers are being digitized and are being made available for all of us to research. Some are full-text searchable and others are browsable.

I will continue to follow the digitization activities across the country and hope to publish the next update in Late 2021.
