Newspapers

Resources at Other Institutions

If the New York Public Library Research Libraries do not have the newspaper title you are looking for, you may be able to find it at another library in New York City or you may request it through interlibrary loan.

In New York City, the Research Libraries are affiliated with a network of libraries to which we can refer you if they hold a title we do not have. You can also obtain copies of microfilmed newspaper articles from libraries across the country, including Library of Congress, through interlibrary loan if the title you are looking for is not at NYPL. For assistance with either of these services, please see a librarian at the reference desk in Room 315.

Listed below are links to the catalogs of a few, selected libraries in New York City and the Library of Congress (you can access these online catalogs from any computer with Internet access). In addition, the union catalog OCLC Worldcat is available only from the public computers in the research libraries’ reading rooms. (See description below.)
