New Jersey Online Historical Newspapers

6/22/2021

6 Comments

 
Picture
There are around 2,000 newspapers that have been published in the Garden State - certainly not all of them are searchable online. But there are quite a few that are indeed available. So go for it - find articles about the events, history, and people that capture the stories of New Jersey. 

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 June 2021; recently added links are in BOLD)
