America’s Historical Newspapers (1690-2000) features a timeline-based interface, divided into key eras in U.S. history—from Colonial times to Globalization and the Information Age. Each era features coverage pertaining to Government, Military and Political Events; Social and Cultural Issues; and Discoveries, Inventions and Firsts with hundreds of timeline topics available. Each topic addressed includes an overview, links to related articles and suggested search terms to continue research. Articles are labeled (pro/con piece, speech, first-hand account, battle report, etc.) to help students quickly identify content that will prove useful for course assignments and individual research.
