ProQuest Historical Black Newspapers
The History, Philosophy and Newspaper Library has an extensive collection of historical newspapers on microfilm. In addition to the Online Catalog, historical newspapers on microfilm can be found by searching the UIUC Library Newspaper Database. You can search this database by city or country of publication and by date of publication, so you can identify which newspapers we have for a particular city, or for a particular city and a specific year. You can also search by subject (e.g. "Hispanic American"), language (e.g. "Spanish"), and place (e.g. "United States", or "Illinois", or "Chicago).
