Newspaper Indexes
There are several online indexes to newspapers available to UIUC affiliates. These indexes have excellent coverage of major American newspapers, while their coverage of international ones is spotty. If indexing to foreign language newspapers through Lexis-Nexis is not sufficient for locating relevant articles on a subject, a searcher can at least locate dates of events through The New York Times Historical, which has full page and article images for 1851-1999. To search this database via Online Research Resources, click on the following link: The New York Times Historical.
