This resource allows you to search newspapers and limit your searches by geographical area. For example, to limit your search to Illinois, click on the plus sign next to North America on the homepage. Then, select United States and check the box next to Ilinois from the specific list. You can expand this further to limit to a particular region. If you select these limits, your keyword searches will only return results from newspapers in those areas.
