Pennsylvania is one of the states that has several central state-wide online repositories for searching historical newspapers. Several states use the Library of Congress Chronicling America site as their main online site for searching old newspapers. Pennsylvania does have many online newspapers available on that site. Pennsylvania currently also has its online availability from different websites and they house hundreds of 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 almost 8.000 newspapers that have been published in the Keystone 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 Pennsylvania 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.

Hello, I am looking for “The Morning Herald, Harrisburg, PA.” My particular interest is the editions for Aug. 19, 22, Sept. 4, 19, 20, 21, 23, 28, Oct. 2, 6, Nov 11 1854. These editions contain articles on the temperance movement in Pennsylvania. Thank you.
And thank you for having this webpage. I have no doubt it took a lot of work to put together.
I am looking for newpaper info or items for the following: Robert Ramsey (1859 in England to 1942 California) lived in Reynoldsville, Jefferson County, PA from about 1874 to 1882. He is shown on the 1880 Federal Census records living at 127 Main Street with his wife, Sophia age 20 and a daughter Gezena age 2. The census shows they were married about 1879 (after the birth of the child). Robert left Reynoldsville in 1882 and married Nellie Mae Van Hyning in 1883 in the Dakota Territory. I have no idea what happened or who Sophia and Gezena are and am hoping the newspaper might be of help. Thank you for any help you can give me.
Hi! Have you tried the Reynoldsville Historical Society? They have many old photos, and many members who post information. You can find them on facebook too.
Seeking any information on Imigration to Mt. Pleasant, PA from Germany. Joseph Keigler/Nicholas Martin, Augusta Wade, wife/son John Marion Martin son born in USA. maybe Ky though but not sure where. But lived in PA then IN. Louisa Bahr (married name) born 1825 not sure where. Coal miners and railroaders.
I am looking for John Mulligan from Altoona, Pa. According to Fr LeDoux’s vital statistics book Volume V, Page 308 entry # 6889 he died 03-23-1866 age 40. I have not been able to access any exiting newspapers from this time period to find an obituary and St John’s cemetery does not have him ( or his wife Catharine or daughter Ellen ) as being buried at St John’s cemetery despite this listing. I have also searched every single cemetery list for Altoona and surrounding areas and neither he nor wife Catharine ( died late 1876 or Jan 1877 because his will was dated by register on 01-29-1877 ) nor Ellen ( died in Feb 1878 as house servant to Mr. Bowman – dress caught on fire while lighting a stove and succumbed to her burns about a week after — she was 16 and listed in article as orphaned).– I am frustrated and at my wit’s end- please help me!
The family were members of St. John’s Church, which has not been in existence since the early 1900’s. You should contact Calvary Cemetery in Altoona because they hold the records to St. John’s Cemetery. Ellen is buried there. Her record of internment is available through the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in Altoona. On her internment record at Cathedral, her place of burial is St. John’s. Ellen’s sister, Margaret, died in Pittsburgh in 1913 and is buried in Calvary Cemetery. I hope this helps.
I only got your message today- looks like it might have been here for a while. I have visited St John’s and have their cemetery book from Blair County Gen society. I have long since suspected she was interred in Bowman family crypt since she was an orphan and died in their employ, but when I called the Cathedral – they said that was private info and they would not/could not share. By the by– I traced the Bowman family to California and lost the trial in the 1950’s. Ellen is not listed officially in the St JOhn’s death listing ( headstones only) and the Cathedral was less than kind telling me they do not have time to search, and that they do not have an archivist. I have just called Calvary ( Altoona)– Ellen has 2 sisters buried in Calvary , Altoona — Margaret Mulligan ( she died at my great grandmother’s home in Pittsburgh) and Catherine Mulligan Farrell. Oddly enough, my great granmother ( their sister) was Mary Mulligan Haggerty and is Also buried in Calvary Cemetery — the one in Pittsburgh. I am curious how you have obtained this info so I might tap that source, but if not- I thank you for sharing– please feel free to contact me any time! God Bless You !! Rose

Great post thank you.
Very helpful! I have a subscription to Newspapers.com, but they do not have anything available for Northampton Co (specifically Easton, PA). You have links here for Easton papers in Google News, but is there a way to search these papers? Is my only hope just reading through each paper to find the people I’m looking for?
If there is a link to a newspaper in Google News Archive, if you click on the link, the page for that newspaper should come up and there should be a Search box.
I am looking for news archive does anybody have?
searching for Reading Herald October 8, 1891 edition.

This is amazing. Thanks for sharing this blog. I have become a fan of your blogs. This blog is so interesting and informative.
