Kansas Online Historical Newspapers Summary

11/15/2018

7 Comments

 
Picture
Kansas is one of the states that has an excellent  single central online state repository for historical newspapers, There are many free online newspapers on other sites and collections available on subscription sites. Below is a list of where the titles are stored and the link so that you can access them. 

There are over 6,000 newspapers that have been published in the Sunflower State - certainly not all of them are searchable online. So go for it - find your Kansas ancestors and all the interesting articles that capture the stories of their lives. 

Please note that I have not always entered the dates that are included in the collections, as I suspect they will change as more items are digitized. Also I suspect that some of these links may change over time - so if there is a dead link - please use your favorite search engine to find their new location.

You need to check the Kansas State Archives website for an update. For several years, it has teamed with Newspapers.com to digitize and make newspapers available. Kansas residents can access these with their drivers license.

Actually Jan I do mention that relationship with newspapers dot com twice on the article. I am aware of it.

Hi Ken,
I manage newspaper digitization for the Kansas Historical Society and for the state generally. KSHS is the central newspaper repository for Kansas and has been since 1875. Our program "Kansas Digital Newspapers" is the central repository for digital Kansas newspapers but we chose to have Newspapers.com host our content rather than put up our own site. Currently more than 10 million pages from the KSHS newspaper collection are available through Newspapers.com, and all of that is free to KS residents and increasingly free to the world through our open access portal on the KDN page. NDNP and Chronicling America are fantastic programs to which we are indebted, but only about 300,000 pages of KSHS content are available there. So referencing Chronicling America as the main site for Kansas is misguided. Kind regards.

Michael - point taken. That intro paragraph has been there for several years and I haven't changed it - obviously. I was unaware of the Open Access feature. When was that implemented?

I want to get my language correct. Would it be possible for you to email me your direct email address, so that I can rewrite my opening paragraph - but more importantly for my readers - I want to make sure that I have the correct link and instructions for Open Access. I look forward to conversing with you on this.

No offense was meant. I was just unaware of the Open Access capability. I though residency was always a requirement.

Thanks again - and sorry for not getting it correct.
