Other universities, such as the University of Wisconsin, Penn State University, and Penn also have newspaper collections that can be accessed if one has community access through the university. You might check with you nearest major university library to see what they have in their collection or have easy access to.
The Google News Archive does not seem to have any Irish American historic newspapers but does have 3 titles regarding Irish immigrants in Canada.
And finally, if you are interested in historic newspapers from Ireland (not America or Canada) you can also access The Irish Newspaper Archives, which is a subscription site.
Good luck!
