Historical newspapers online from ProQuest

I wanted to follow up on Sandy's recent post in BBLIB about the correct dates of coverage for the Chicago Tribune in ProQuest (1860-1969) with a post here detailing what newspapers we have deep, full text access to via ProQuest:

  • Atlanta Constitution (1868-1925)
  • Boston Globe (1872-1901)
  • Chicago Tribune (1860-1969)
  • New York Times (1851-2001)
  • Wall Street Journal (1889-1987)

At the moment, there is no link on our Information Resources page that gets you straight to this collection of old newspapers, which is formally called ProQuest Historical Newspapers. But if you go into any of the ProQuest databases already listed on the Information Resources page (ABI/Inform Global, American Periodicals Series, New York Times 1851-2001, and Wall Street Journal 1889-1987), you can then select from within the ProQuest interface one of the other databases with the newspapers listed above.

UPDATE: As noted in an Oct. 3, 2005, post on this blog, access to these additional titles has ended.
