There are many different newspapers collected at SCU Library. There are many physical newspapers in the Archives and Special Collections (see the page on Archives), but most newspapers in the University Library are digitized and you can search and read them online just like a journal article.
Some very prominent newspapers have their own collections, such as the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, or San Francisco Chronicle. Some smaller newspapers are collected in general historical newspaper databases. Use the same techniques to search these databases that you would for JSTOR or Academic Search Complete by using multiple key words and filters.
Remember to check your citation guide to use the format for citing newspapers.
Below is a list of suggested newspaper databases for this class.
Because this is a history class you will probably need historical newspaper articles. But just in case you need additional sources, there are modern newspaper collections in our databases as well. Here are some of the most popular.
