how to access newspapers

Hi @MrCampALot.

The Research Wiki is a great place to find links to newspapers. After selecting a location, to the right, under 'Record Types' will be 'Newspapers'. Many of those links will be free, but some may require a subscription to view.

If you can tell us a specific place and time period that you would like to see newspapers from, we can assist you further.

Hi MrCampALot

I wanted to share some tips on how to access historical newspapers, which can be a great resource for family research. Here are a few ways to get started:

1. Online Newspaper Archives: Websites like Chronicling America, Newspapers.com, and GenealogyBank offer searchable collections of old newspapers. Some require a subscription, but many libraries provide free access with a library card.
2. Local Libraries and Historical Societies: Many have digitized or physical copies of local newspapers. It’s worth checking their websites or visiting in person.
3. FamilySearch & Other Genealogy Sites: FamilySearch sometimes links to newspapers or includes obituaries and news articles in their collections.
4. Google News Archive: This can be a useful free resource for finding older newspapers.

If anyone wants help navigating these sites or finding newspapers from a specific area or time, just ask—I’m happy to help!

Happy searching

Thank you for your help. I serve in a small familysearch center and we are really just getting going. I am looking for some training on the sites on the Portal especially Newspaper Archives. I have not check the BYU familyhistory library as yet but any suggestions for a training video for our patrons before they take off to do their own discoveries and for our Consultants at the Center.

Thank you for your help.
