We’re making some changes to our digital newspaper database! Thanks to continued support from the Irondequoit Library Foundation, the library is now subscribed to ProQuest Historical Newspapers: New York Collection, which offers access to the archives of eight newspapers from throughout New York State from the 1700s up through the current month.

— Rochester – Democrat & Chronicle (1871-Current)
— Ithaca – Ithaca Journal (1914-Current)
— New York City – New York Daily News (1920-Current)
— Poughkeepsie – Poughkeepsie Journal (1789-Current)
— Binghamton – Press & Sun-Bulletin (1904-Current)
— Elmira – Star-Gazette (1891-Current)
— West Nyack – The Journal News (1889-1990)
— White Plains – The Journal News (1998-Current)

Here’s what you can expect after logging in to ProQuest Historical Newspapers:

“Every issue of each title includes the complete paper, cover-to-cover, with full-page and article images in easily downloadable PDF format. Researchers can study the progression of issues over time through these historical newspaper pages, including articles, photos, advertisements, classified ads, obituaries, editorial cartoons, and so much more.”

ProQuest Historical Newspapers can be accessed by all library users in our Computer Lab and by Irondequoit residents at home through our Online Resources page.
