Online Newspaper archives

[Canebrake Rifle Guards]

Folks-

I'm in need of some online 19th C. newspaper archives. 1840s - 1860s. Especially Southern. I know there are some floating out there, can you post for me your favorites?

Thank you,

Greg Starbuck

Greg,
I'm sure you know about this archive at the Library of Virginia but just in case, here's the link:
http://www.lva.lib.va.us/whatwehave/index.htm
Also, here's a page full of The Richmond Dispatch
http://www.mdgorman.com/Hospitals/camp_lee.htm
Hope this helps....if you look around on that website a little you will also find articles from The Richmond Whig and The New York Times.

Vicki Betts has transcribed a number of southern newspapers available at

While not southern I thought I would put it out here for someone that may not have found it yet.

The New York Times archives for 1851-1980.

"Nineteenth Century American" and "Nineteenth Century British Newspapers." Both are subscriber-only sites, but, if you're looking for something in particular, shoot me a PM and I'll see what I can dig up.

Greg,

The University of Richmond has hundreds of transcriptions available from the Richmond Daily Dispatch:

As Luke pointed out, Mike Gorman's Civil War Richmond site, is a treasure for anything relating to both the War and Richmond...and I don't hesitate to search beyond the link which has been posted for that site.

Personally I'm in search of Newspapers which may have circulated from the following Virginia Counties/Cities: Amelia, Albermarle, Brooklyn, Charlotte, Halifax, Louisa, Lynchburg, Goochland and Pittsylvania.

Newspaperarchive.com is the subscription service I use. It's a little pricey, but I've had very good results with it. I don't know about other services, but this allows you to download .pdfs of pages.
