The Libraries have recently acquired access to World Newspaper Archive: African Newspapers

This collection provides access to more than 40 fully searchable African newspapers published between 1800 and 1922. African Newspapers features titles from Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. Languages include English, German, French, Portuguese, Afrikaans, Xhosa, Sotho, and others.

This guide is designed to help you find current and historical newspapers and newspaper articles.  

Need help along the way? Ask a Librarian!

Look under Journal Title in the library catalog. Records for newspapers will tell you where to find current paper issues and older years on microfilm. Some newspaper records can be quite complicated, as newspapers may have many title or publication changes.

For Arkansas papers:

For Arkansas newspapers outside out collection, the following book has an index by county:

Brendel, Shirley J. Arkansas Newspapers. Fayetteville, AR: University Libraries, 1987. REF DESK Z 6952 .A8 A74 1987.
