I’m trying to help someone who needs to browse a print index (or even better, search an online index) for articles published in the late 1960s in the New York Post and in the New York Daily News. At this point, it’s looking like the only remaining option is to plow through the microfilm of daily issues instead. I’m wondering if anyone has any ideas that I haven’t already explored. Here’s what I’ve done so far:
Checked for online access to full text in this particular time period:
- Serials Solutions
- Ulrichsweb
- Google News Archive
- NewspaperArchive.com
- NewsLibrary.com
- NYS Historic Newspapers
- Center for Research Libraries
Checked to see if there are any indexes in print or online that cover this period:
- Reader’s Guide Retrospective
- Ulrichsweb
- Serials Solutions
- NYPL’s page about its newspapers collections
- Library of Congress page for “Newspaper Archives, Indexes, and Morgues”
- Zimmer Index
- Guide to Reference Books
If you have any suggestions, please add a comment to this post.
