Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers
Chronicling America is moving to a new interface, and The Connect to Database link will take you to the new interface. As of mid-2024, newly digitized newspapers are only being added to the new interface. However, you may continue to access the legacy interface until it is retired by Library of Congress at the end of 2024.
Chronicling America is a collection of digitized newspapers from all the United States, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. Newspapers have been fully digitized and indexed from cover to cover. The collection includes newspapers published between 1798 and 1963; date ranges vary for each newspaper. A variety of search options are available, including by state, ethnicity, language, newspaper title, or date of publication. Each digitized page may be viewed as an image or text in the browser, or it may be downloaded in PDF or JPG 2000 (.jp2) format. JPG 2000 files require special software to view; see How to View for more information.
New Jersey newspapers in this collection were digitized by The New Jersey Digital Newspaper Project (NJDNP), a collaboration of Rutgers University Libraries, the New Jersey State Archives and the New Jersey State Library.
