More Digitized Historical Newspapers Available

As part of its effort to return the Cornell University Library to its position among the top ten academic institutions in terms of collections support, the Library has started to draw down on funds that have been in reserve for a range of projects and divert them to collections support.We were able to make several one-time purchases at the end of the calendar year which are now available through the catalog.  Two are of special interest:

• We have added Series 2 of America’s Historical Newspapers.  That means that we now have Series 1, 2, 3, and 6 in addition to a collection of African American Newspapers from 1827-1998.  All are cross-searchable from http://resolver.library.cornell.edu/misc/5719541. Series 2 adds 250 significant 18th- and 19th-century newspapers from all 50 present states.
• We have also added the Times Digital Archive to the collection.  This consists of the full-text of Times of London from 1785 to 1985.  For the time being, it can be searched as part of Gale’s News Vault at http://resolver.library.cornell.edu/misc/7563970. In the future, you should be able to search for “Times Digital Archive” in the catalog for a link that will take you to just this paper.
