Wikipedia:Newspapers.com (WP:NEWSPAPERS)

Access or apply for this resource → Newspapers.com is a newspaper database in the family of companies associated with Ancestry.com.  Their database includes more than 840 million pages from 22,000-plus newspapers, mostly local United States papers with some Canadian and elsewhere. (Lists: https://www.newspapers.com/papers/ and https://www.newspapers.com/browse/). It is particularly suited for Wikipedia content about the 18th, 19th and the first 3⁄4 of the 20th century in the United States and global topics affecting the United States. The collection includes some major newspapers for limited periods (i.e., 50 years of the New York Times), but mostly consists of regional papers from the 1700s onward. Very few titles go beyond the late 1980s.  Free accounts through the Wikipedia Library now do include access to Newspapers.com Publisher Extra content. As part of a pilot program with Wikipedia Library, they generously offered the use of 100 accounts to their database of American newspapers. Due to the success of the program and the large number of requests from users, they have since increased the number of accounts available to 400.  The Internet Archive provides scans and full text search for historical archives of newspapers from around the world, for a total of several millions of pages.   === Userbox === Add {{Wikipedia:Newspapers.com/Userbox}} to your userboxes!

Retrieved July 21, 2014 – via Newspapers.com.   === Using the "Clipping" function === Both Newspapers.com and The Wikipedia Library would prefer that articles citing Newspapers.com link to clippings. Clippings allow Newspapers.com subscriber-editors to identify particular articles, extract them from the original full sheet newspaper and share them through unique URLs. Thus readers who click on a Newspapers.com Clipping link will be able to access that particular article, and the full page of the paper if they come from the clipping, without needing to subscribe to Newspapers.com. Clippings can be deleted by the user who created the clipping, but otherwise remain permanently open access, even when user accounts expire. For more information about how to use clippings, follow this link.   === Citations across multiple pages/clippings === It is often the case that newspaper articles will be split between multiple pages, requiring multiple clippings. In that case, the citation can be formatted to link to the clippings of each page.  <ref>{{cite news |last1=Miles |first1=Marvin |last2=Abramson |first2=Rudy |title=Armstrong Beams His Words to Earth After Testing Surface |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/56035464/the-los-angeles-times/ |work=[[Los Angeles Times]] |date=July 21, 1969 |pages=[https://www.newspapers.com/clip/56035464/the-los-angeles-times/ 1], [https://www.newspapers.com/clip/56035546/the-los-angeles-times/ 10] |accessdate=July 25, 2020 |via=[[Newspapers.com]]}}</ref>Miles, Marvin; Abramson, Rudy (July 21, 1969).
