Nevada Online Historical Newspapers Summary

12/7/2020

2 Comments

 
Picture

Nevada is one of the states that does not have a single central online state repository for historical newspapers, but they use the Library of Congress Chronicling America site as a main site for searching old newspapers. There are some 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 about 650 newspapers that have been published in the the Silver State - certainly not all of them are searchable online. But there are several that are indeed available. So go for it - find your Nevada 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.

Nice Las Vegas has finally started to show but no way to search by date but I must be evil for wanting a usable interface. Oh well.

I agree Kyle. Unfortunately there are many collections that are only browsable. Better than nothing but without any indexing it sure makes it difficult to find anything unless you have a specific date of an issue in mind.
