Historical Newspaper Content

The historical newspaper content accessible through SNEWPapers is sourced from public domain materials. Newspapers published in the United States more than 95 years ago are in the public domain in their entirety. Any newspapers that were published less than 95 years ago are also believed to be in the public domain, but may contain some copyrighted third-party materials.

Researchers using newspapers published less than 95 years ago should be alert for content that may be copyrighted (for example, content registered and renewed for copyright or published with notice). Responsibility for making an independent legal assessment of an item and securing any necessary permissions ultimately rests with persons desiring to use the item.
