Africana Special Collections at MSUL: Newspapers

A guide to using the resources on Africa available in MSUL Special Collections.

Africana newspapers

All print newspapers from the African continent are housed in Special Collections. Historical and contemporary titles from a range of African countries are made available in the Reading Room to researchers. Newspaper titles can be found in the catalog by searching for a specific newspaper title, by searching for newspapers from a certain country, or by searching in MSS 555, which contains single issues or small runs of newspapers that were discontinued or for which the subscription was discontinued. 

Microform Collections

MSU Libraries holds a number of newspapers, other periodicals, and archival collections on microform. For more information on our holdings, and to find out how to request and use microform, see our LibGuide: Africana Microform at the MSU Libraries
