History is always new with ProQuest Historical Newspapers™, the initiative that delivers the "backfiles of record" in living page image—exactly as they appeared to the original readers decades ago.
War was news some 140 years ago, in the pages of The New York Times. You can trace the opening salvos of the Civil War firsthand, in this account of the fall of Fort Sumter.
Or select just the article itself, "threaded" as a unit for continuity, and you’ll see the elation that gripped onlookers in Charleston, S.C., as they visualized a quick and virtually bloodless Confederate victory.
Or join the "Greatest Generation" 84 years later as they watch World War II come to a close on shipboard .
Space exploration and international tensions are nothing new, either. Consider the Cold War, chronicled on this 1977 front page. The first U.S. space shuttle has gone aloft, and Communism is a concern in Asia and Europe. (Note the mention of then-Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, whose death was reported in The New York Times in January 2002.)
Government scandals? The greatest in U.S. history is reported in "real time," and the implications for the American Presidency still reverberate today. See how Nixon’s resignation struck readers on August -, 1974.
With nearly 250 years of coverage, ProQuest Historical Newspapers brings historical research to life—complete with the full-page context that illuminates yesterday today.
