Historical Black Newspapers Collection added to SABR Research Resources
JULY 18, 2023 — SABR members can already take advantage of free online access to The Sporting News archives through Paper of Record and the Newspapers.com World Collection. Today, another invaluable new archive has been added to our Research Resources as a benefit for all members.
The Historical Black Newspapers Collection, available through ProQuest, offers essential primary source content and editorial perspectives from 12 distinguished African American newspapers in the United States. Each of these Historical Black Newspapers provides researchers with unprecedented access to perspectives and information that were excluded or marginalized in mainstream sources. The content, including articles, obituaries, photos, editorials, and more, is easily accessible for scholars in the study of the history of race relations, journalism, local and national politics, education, African American studies, and many multidisciplinary subjects.
