Tips & Special Features:


When you find and click on an article, you will see only the article and not the entire newspaper page it appeared on.

If you would like to see the entire page, click the "page map" link (on either the search results page or article page) for the date you want to view instead of clicking on the article title. The page map version allows you to see images blocked by copyright restrictions and also allows you to view the entire paper page by page.

When searching, use any relevant Advanced Search limits so you can avoid receiving too many results. Click on "more" to get an extended list of article types including stock quotes.

Click on "Help" in the upper right hand corner for more tips.

You can browse results by decade by clicking the decades buttons above the search results.

Search results can be chronologically sorted or sorted by "most relevant" by clicking the drop-down Sort menu above the search results.
