Historical Newspapers 1900-1910

The Library of Congress is hosting a new website called Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers. They currently have articles from several newspapers in California, the District of Columbia, Florida, Kentucky, New York, Utah, and Virginia. At the present time they have articles from 1900-1910, but their goal is to expand their coverage to include newspapers from every state from the period from 1836-1922.

You can also look up information on about 140,000 current and historical newspaper titles and see which libraries have them available in some form.

Article on UB's look at the Baltimore Riots

The April 4 edition of the Baltimore Sun has an article by Gadi Dechter entitled "Baltimore's Riots Remembered" that details UB's examination of events in Baltimore following the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. You can read about some of the work done by Langsdale's special collections department, along with several UB faculty members and students, to create a Baltimore 168 Riots and Rebirth Collection.

The article from the Baltimore Sun will only be available online for 2 weeks, but members of the UB community can continue to access the article through Langsdale's subscription to the Baltimore Sun archives going back to 1990.
