Quick tip – List of Newspaper Archives

Eric Hennekam has compiled a list of online archives of Dutch newspapers. The list and most of the website he refers to are in Dutch, and so are the newspapers themselves, but this will give you some idea of the range of information out there.

The European Library is also working on a portal to provide central access to Europe’s historical newspapers. A preview is available now. This website has an English interface, although the underlying newspapers will still be in Dutch.
