ProQuest Adds Still More Historical Newspapers

ProQuest has a huge collection on newspapers that can be searched online. In most cases, you need to visit your local library to access this impressive online resource. Some libraries may offer in-home access as well. In all cases, you must make arrangements with your local library, not with ProQuest.

ProQuest has now added even more newspapers to the online database. The following are two announcements written by ProQuest and sent to librarians:

All the newspapers online seem to cover the eastern part of the US.
Is there any early newspapers available for the southern states? Tennesse, Alabama etc?
