This is the most fun you’ll ever have doing research!

The Cedar Rapids Public Library is excited to announce a new subscription to NewspaperArchive.com, online newspapers offered by local company Heritage Microfilm.

NewspaperArchive.com offers more than 2,295 newspapers, large and small, from all 50 states and around the world. Coverage is strongest for Iowa newspapers, which is most wonderfully fun for all of us. Heritage continues to add newapapers and to scan pages at the rate of about 2-1/2 million images each month, so this great service will just get better and better.

This Web site is your gateway to searching and reading historic newspapers online. You’ll find hundreds of Iowa newspapers available here, and when you are ready to explore an online collection of newspapers from across the nation, and even the world, visit NewspaperArchive.com to search millions of archived pages from the 18th to the 21st century.

We hope you enjoy this new service; please let us know what you think! **
