The following announcement was written by ProQuest:
ProQuest has added two newspapers to the ProQuest Historical Newspapers program:
- ProQuest Historical Newspapers - The Baltimore Sun (1837-1985)
- ProQuest Historical Newspapers – St. Louis Post-Dispatch (1874-1922)
The Baltimore Sun was founded by Arunah Shepherdson Abell as a people’s paper reporting the news that mattered most to the residents of Baltimore and the nation including Washington D.C. politics, the slave trade and the Civil War, immigration, commerce, Americana, and literature.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch (1874-1922) was the first newspaper of Joseph Pulitzer, the father of “Yellow Journalism.” St. Louis served as a gateway to the west and north and was a city of firsts including the first public demonstration of radio communication, first U.S. host of the Olympics, and location of the world’s first skyscraper.
To explore the fascinating events captured in these newspapers, contact your ProQuest Account Representative, pqsales@proquest.com, (800) 521-0600 x3344 today!
Are these newspapers posting by subscription only? I live near St. Louis and could go to the library but it would be nice to get it at home. Thank you for your newsletter. Linda

Could you do a follow up on what institutions or online sites offer Proquest Historical Newspapers? It's not at the Boston Public Library, NEHGS, Footnote.com, or Ancestry.com. It's not part of 19th century newspapers or Genealogybank.com. I'd love to use the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, but where and how is the question.
