District of Columbia Online Historical Newspapers

There are almost 800 newspapers that have been published in "DC" - certainly not all of them are searchable online. But there are several that are indeed available. So go for it - find articles about the events, history, and people that capture the stories of the District of Columbia.

​Please note that I have not always entered the dates that are included in the collections, as I suspect they will change as more items are digitized. Also I suspect that some of these links may change over time - so if there is a dead link - please use your favorite search engine to find their new location. 

(Updated October 2021; recently added links are in BOLD)
