"ProQuest continues to expand its newspaper offerings to serve the needs of researchers and genealogists at their public libraries," says Rod Gauvin, senior vice president of ProQuest Information and Learning. "The ProQuest newspaper strategy is not only focused on large national titles, but also recognizes the importance of smaller local titles in connecting people to the world around them."
The new regional and local titles added to ProQuest Newsstand™ include:
- Evening Sun (PA)
- SalinaJournal (KS)
- Savannah Morning News (GA)
- Northwest Florida Daily News (FL)
ProQuest Newsstand consists of more than 500 current newspapers; 350 papers are available in full-text. Libraries can customize newspaper packages with content that is most relevant to their patrons. Patrons not only can find out what is going on in the world, they also can read news important to their communities.
ProQuest continues to make progress on newspaper digitization by adding years of coverage to ProQuest Historical Newspapers. An additional year of coverage is now included for The New York Times (1851-2003), The Wall Street Journal (1889-1989), Washington Post (1877-1990), Christian Science Monitor (1908-1993), and Boston Globe (1872-1923). Four years of coverage have been added to the Atlanta Constitution (1868-1929). Earlier this month, ProQuest announced the addition of The Hartford Courant archive, dating back to 1764.
ProQuest's acclaimed Historical Newspapers is the world's largest digital newspaper archive, encompassing the full runs of America's most notable newspapers. Historical Newspapers is also part of ProQuest Genealogy Center resources, providing amateur and professional genealogists with useful information found in classified ads, society columns, and marriage, birth, and anniversary announcements.
