Early American Newspapers, Series III, 1829-1922
Comprehensive coverage of the mid- to late 19th century and beyond
...
Series III of Early American Newspapers complements _Series I_
(http://www.readex.com/readex/product.cfm?product=10) and _Series II_
(http://www.readex.com/readex/product.cfm?product=11) by offering fully searchable digital
facsimiles of several hundred thousand issues from more than 125 significant
19th- and 20th-century newspapers, totaling more than one million pages. Like
other Early American Newspapers series, it is based primarily on the holdings
of the American Antiquarian Society (AAS), which houses a comprehensive
collection of American newspapers through 1876. Additionally, both Series II and
Series III include titles from the acclaimed newspaper collections of the
Wisconsin Historical Society, the Library of Congress and other organizations, and
they offer newspapers from all 50 present states.
...
Focus on titles from the latter half of the 19th century
The titles in Series III focus on the period between 1861 to 1900. Like
Series II, Series III provides in-depth coverage of the mid-19th century and the
Civil War, but Series III also focuses on Reconstruction, the Gilded Age,
the Progressive Era and beyond. Between 1861 and 1900, the number and size of
newspapers continued to grow rapidly, as the adoption of the telegraph and the
prevalence of the Associated Press contributed to a second transformation of
the newspaper industry in the 19th century. Westward expansion and the penny
press continued to help create thousands of local newspapers, and daily
editions replaced many weeklies.
...
Superior bibliographic control
Like Series I and II, Series III offers many significant titles listed in
Clarence S. Brigham’s “History and Bibliography of American Newspapers,
1690-1820” and other authoritative bibliographies. Bibliographic control for Series
III’s post-1820 titles comes from Winifred Gregory’s “American Newspapers
1821-1936: A Union List of Files Available in the United States and Canada.”
Additionally, a distinguished academic advisory board of librarians, curators
and historians supervised the title selection process, considering the
historical significance of each newspaper and the diverse political positions of
the period.
...
A robust, integrated resource
As part of the America’s Historical Newspapers collection, Early American
Newspapers, Series III, 1829-1922 shares a common interface with Early American
Newspapers, Series II, 1690-1876 and Early American Newspapers, Series II,
1758-1900. Additionally, Series III is cross-searchable with all other Readex
Archive of Americana collections.
