Historic Newspaper Websites Linked to Catalog

These three historic newspaper sites, free on the web, will soon be linked to the Auraria Library catalog:

Virginia Gazette. The colonial-era Virginia Gazette was published in Williamsburg between 1736 and 1780. This valuable primary resource covered news for all Virginia and also supplied some news of other colonies, Scotland, England, etc. Though really three papers published successfully by competing publishers, this site presents the full-text of the three iterations of the Virginia Gazette. Thanks to the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation for supplying access to the Virginia Gazette at no charge. (This is not as sophisticated an index as what is offered through a subscription service like the Burney Collection which is now on trial - but the price is right.)

Georgia Historic Newspapers. This collection contains issues of three historic Georgia newspapers: the Cherokee Phoenix, the Dublin Post, and the Colored Tribune.

North Carolina Newspaper Digitization Project. A searchable online collection of early North Carolina newspapers from the mid-18th through 19th century.
