Trying to find historical Illinois newspapers? This is the place to find free online historical newspapers.
Illinois is one of the states that has a central online repository for searching historical newspapers. Several states use the Library of Congress’s Chronicling America site as their primary online resource for searching old newspapers. Illinois does have several online newspapers available on that site. Illinois currently has its online availability from many different websites, and a few of them house many newspapers. Many are free, and many require a subscription. Below is a list of where the titles are stored and the link so that you can access them.
There are over 8.000 newspapers that have been published in the Prairie State – certainly not all of them are searchable online. But there are quite a few that are indeed available. So go for it – find your Illinois ancestors and all the interesting articles that capture the stories of their lives.
Please note that I have not always entered the dates that are included in the collections, as I suspect they will change as more items are digitized. Also, I suspect that some of these links may change over time, so if there is a dead link, please use your favorite search engine to find their new location.

Online Newspaper Research FAQs
It’s challenging due to imperfect Optical Character Recognition (OCR), inconsistent indexing, variations in spelling and nicknames, differing journalistic styles over time, and the sheer volume of fragmented, often paywalled, collections. Finding what you need truly feels like a treasure hunt!
Many researchers utilizing online newspaper archives may not be aware that word searches are performed against a database generated by analyzing whether minute sections of the newspaper are black or white. It is the shape of the collected dots that may (or may not) look like a letter.
To improve search accuracy when encountering OCR errors, it is advisable to intentionally alter your search terms by substituting letters with similar shapes. For example, replacing a lowercase ‘b’ with an ‘h’, or a lowercase ‘e’ with a ‘c’.
In your search criteria, try entering abbreviations, nicknames, and portions of hyphenated words. Numerous other techniques can be found in The Ancestor Hunt’s “Newspaper Research Academy”, which can be accessed at https://theancestorhunt.com/academy.html
Yes. Although some of the largest databases require a subscription, there are many that are free. The Ancestor Hunt has curated links to over 80,000 titles that can be searched for free in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. To use these links, go to its Newspaper Links Page,

Kenneth,
Thanks for these links!
I want to let you know that your blog post is listed in my Fab Finds post today at http://janasgenealogyandfamilyhistory.blogspot.com/2014/02/follow-friday-fab-finds-for-february-14.html
Have a wonderful weekend!
Do you have a Christian County Families Publication that you sell?
I know many counties do this. I would love to buy one if it is available.
Thanks

Badly needed are online access to newspapers from Will County, particularly covering Braidwood cica 1870 to 1920
A useful addition to Chicago newspapers online would be the Chicago Record-Herald (1901-1914) and its predecessors. I used bound hard copies from the Stanford University libraries some years ago and found it had materials not found elsewhere.
Also valuable would be full online access to the run of German-language newspaper in Chicago, Abendpost, which has a lot of useful information of historical and genealogical interest not found in the English language papers. Currently I am only aware of microfilm issues at Newberry and the Chicago Public Library. That is a dying technology, so I hope funds can be found to make this paper available on the web.
Here is the Chicago Tribune archives which strangely is no charge just type the date in manually when clicking on one of the images and you can go to anything in their archive. http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1962/07/08/page/58/article/satellite-will-bounce-tv-signals
Now you type in a custom date. http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1940/07/08/
Do you have any East St Louis Newspapers?

This compilation is very much appreciated! Thanks so much.
Thanks a million! So helpful to have this all in one place.
I’m looking for new articles from 1939 on my great grandfathers murder. He was working in a bar and broke up a fight between his cousin and another man and through his cousin out of the bar. The cousin came back with a gun to shot the man he was fighting with but killed my great grandfather instead. I believe this was in Aurora, IL or at lease the trail was, in fall (October- November 1939). My grandmother remembers sitting in the courtroom and getting Christmas presents from the town. His name is John Arthur Reed. The articles my grandmother had are missing .
Hi Kelly. Did you ever find someone to help you?
Livingston Co., Illinois – The Fairbury Blade is online at: https://dr652b.bmiimaging.com/index?datasetName=The%20Fairbury%20Blade&DocumentType=THE%20FAIRBURY%20BLADE
Thank You for listing everything together. One day I hope to see a paper from Vermilion County in your list. Danville and area seem to be a black hole for publications.
Thanks! I hope that county shows up also.
