Hi, Henry--as you know, I'm sure, newspapers have been the great lagging indicator in the digitization of historical textual materials: the technical challenges were for too long just too great. However, there are now some important and promising efforts underway, notably the Chronicling America project, http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/ . In addition, you might want to explore the links at http://www.loc.gov/rr/news/ for further leads. And if an up-to-date list such as you mention exists, the folks available via http://www.loc.gov/rr/askalib/ask-news.html would know it. For periodicals, I'd start with those digitized by the Making of America project, http://hearth.library.cornell.edu/m/moajrnl/ (main MOA page: http://hearth.library.cornell.edu/m/moa/). Of course, you'll find far more materials via subscription databases at research libraries than is available free of charge on the Internet. --Jurretta Heckscher On Sep 25, 2009, at 9:49 AM, Henry Wiencek wrote: > Does anyone know of an up-to-date listing of nineteenth-century > newspapers > and periodicals available online? > > Many thanks, > Henry Wiencek > > ______________________________________ > To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe please see the > instructions at > http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-hist.html ______________________________________ To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe please see the instructions at http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-hist.html
