The Arkansas State Archives is participating in the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP) to digitize and make available dozens of Arkansas newspapers.
The NDNP project is a partnership between the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the Library of Congress (LC) to provide free online access to historic newspapers from across the United States and U.S. territories.
The Arkansas State Archives began work on the NDNP project in 2017 and to date has coordinated the digitization of newspapers from more than 25 counties. All newspapers can be searched and viewed on the Library of Congress' Chronicling America site.
Chronicling America newspapers can be found in OneSearch; for articles and page images of those papers, visit the Chronicling America website.
The Libraries have acquired the online archive of the Wall Street Journal. covering from the first date of issue in 1889 through 2012. Unlike the current issues already available through ProQuest, this archive offers full page images and searching of advertisements, stock prices,and other primary source materials.
Covers: 1889 - 2012. Offers the fully searchable text and page images from the newspaper.
Due to Mullins Renovation Phase 2, all microforms have been to remote locations. This includes our Arkansas Newspaper collection.
While we update catalog records in OneSearch, please refer to the working spreadsheet below for details of our holdings.
