Many times, the older newspapers are found at the State Archives.  I
search for names of newspspers by googling "name of town, newspaper."

To look at many newspapers in a state, consider visiting the state
archives,

Otherwise,  request a date range of newspapers through interlibrary loan.
 There's often a charge for borrowing newspapers on microfilm.
