Question

How do I find old newspaper articles, are there archives available online?

Answer 1

Yes, there are archives, such as ProQuest. However, most of these sites require a paid subscription. Your public library might allow some sort of access, and if you belong to a college or university you can probably get access as well.

Also, the New York Times offers free back issues online going back to 1987.

Answer 2

Some papers offer archives online, but like others have said, it might be a subscription you have to get. There are things like ProQuest but you might be overwhelmed. If this is a local paper you are trying to get information from, perhaps just go to their office location and see if they have them archived there (most usually do).

Answer 3

If you go to http://dailysource.org, they have a great and free search box that lets you seach their site for past news articles that they hand-picked from thousands of resources to go on their site. Just go to the search box on the left hand column and use the drop-down box to search their Site instead of Web and then type in what you topic you want.

Answer 4

Try Google news archive search
