Taken together, the titles form a trove of considerable importance to U.S. history. The bulk of the collection arrived on June 29, 2000. The volumes that the American Newspaper Repository was able to save reside in an 1848 mill building in Rollinsford, New Hampshire. We are in the process of installing shelves and putting the collection in order. Researchers who submit a letter of inquiry can use the collection by appointment.
All labor is volunteered.
The repository is supported by private individuals, and by grants from the MacArthur Foundation and the Knight Foundation. Contributions are tax deductible and extremely welcome. Here are some snapshots from a 1911 volume of the Chicago Tribune. Here's a big digital photo of a page from the New York World, 1898. Created July 19, 2000.
