Bill,

Thanks for this extremely helpful information.  Note that I did not list the ProQuest African-American newspapers individually, but meant to encompass them all with the listing "Black Newspaper Collection."

Does Ancestry.com have anything not also in Newspaperarchive?

I did intend to encompass all of ProQuest's databases with only a few decades of retrospective coverage under the heading "ProQuest Newss and Magazines."

Obviously it is a judgment call whether state newspaper projects or individual newspapers or individual college newspapers are major enough to be included on my list.  Have any of the state newspaper projects reached the point where they have a lot of useful searchable text?  For the college newspapers, the Harvard Crimson is the only one that I have found to be at all productive in finding antedatings.  Has anyone else found any of the others to be that useful?

Has anyone found the Mad Magazine or Rolling Stone archives to be useful in finding antedatings?

I recall that Sporting News is digitized somewhere.  Where is that?  Paperofrecord?

Fred

Caveats: NONE

Ancestry.com includes:
Stars and Stripes Newspaper, Europe, Mediterranean, and North Africa
Editions, 1942-1964
 Stars and Stripes Newspaper, Pacific Editions, 1945-1963
 Stars and Stripes Newspaper, WWI Edition, 1918-1919

You include some of the papers in ProQuest Historical Newspapers, but
leave out:
Atlanta Daily World
Chicago Defender
Pittsburgh Courier
New York Amsterdam News
Los Angeles Sentinel  (all of which are African American newspapers)

ProQuest recently had a press release saying that the Baltimore
Afro-American, Cleveland Call & Post, Norfolk Journal & Guide, and
Philadelphia Tribune will be added to the Black Historical Newspapers
collection.

ProQuest's "current" (mostly 1991 to present) databases include Black
Newspapers,  Ethnic Newswatch, and ProQuest National Newspapers Premier
(the titles in these may all be in what you call "ProQuest News and
Magazines" below).

More misc archives:
The Oklahoma City _Daily Oklahoman_ has online archives back to 1901.
_Urbana Daily Courier_ 1916-1925
Provincetown [MA] Advocate 1918, 1931-1934 and 1936--1967
Colorado Historic Newspaper Collection
Treasure Chest of Fun and Fact (Catholic sponsored comic book) 1946 -
1963
Digital Newspapers at Penn State:
 Lancaster Farming
 Pennsylvania Civil War Newspapers
 Penn State Student Newspapers:
  Historical Digital Collegian Archive
  The Behrend Beacon
  Hazleton Highacres
LA84 Foundation -- Sporting Life, Baseball Magazine, Outing, American
Golfer and other sports titles

The following college newspapers are also (in addition to the Harvard
Crimson) online:
American University _The Eagle_ 1925 - 1996
Georgetown University _The Hoya_ 1959-1980
MIT _The Tech_ (searchable only through Google Advanced Search)
Univ of Illinois _Daily Illini_ 1916-1936

In the interest of providing too much, rather than leaving something
out, here are some more "modern" archives:
Newsbank Access World News (nearly 2000 U.S. and World newspapers)
Library Pressdisplay (from Newspaperdirect.com)
Newsbank Retrospective ("news articles from 1970-1991.")

The following magazines have released their archives on DVD-ROM/CD-ROM
and may be useful:

The New Yorker
Mad Magazine
National Geographic
Rolling Stone
