Scholars and researchers from CRL member institutions (such as Michigan State University) have free and unlimited use of the CRL collections through interlibrary loan via their libraries. The loan period is unlimited, but is subject to possible recall notice. To identify what is available try searching the Center for Research Libraries online catalog. Browse by country, state, U.S. and Canadian ethnic newspapers, or by Civilian Conservation Corps. Here is a brief list of some of the featured collections:
The African-American Press Collection. From the Christian recorder, published in Philadelphia in the 1850s, to the Chicago Defender, still very much alive, the African-American press has provided first person coverage of the concerns, interests and achievements of African-Americans throughout the United States. The Center has a “critical mass” of over two hundred titles.
Civilian Conservation Corps Newspapers, 1933-1942 Database. Several thousand newspapers and newsletters published by members of the Civilian Conservation Corps document one of the most successful New Deal work relief efforts of the Great Depression. These publications were produced in the rural and urban CCC camps and record the experiences of American youth who worked on important nature conservation and urban infrastructure projects during the period.
Ethnic Press Database. Thousands of volumes of newspapers were produced in the U.S. by ethnic communities from the Civil War to the late 20th century. The papers mirror the lives, values and everyday concerns of America’s various immigrant communities, from the Chinese- and Polish-Americans of 19th Century Chicago to more recently established communities of immigrants from Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
Bild Zeitung (Hamburg) June 1960–Dec 1998. This German publication is the best-selling newspaper in Europe and has the sixth-largest circulation worldwide. The broadsheet was modeled after the British tabloid the Daily Mirror—reflected in its mix of celebrity gossip, crime stories, and political analysis—and is an essential part of Germany’s cultural landscape. CRL announced it will purchase this set in 2010.
Imperial Russia’s Illustrated Press. These illustrated weeklies chronicle Russian life and culture from the years of great literary output by Dostoevsky and Tolstoy to the modernist era and the chaos of 1917. The Press documents the transformation of Russia’s great cities—its landscapes and its multi-national citizenry—together with literary life, and provides a visual and verbal chronicle of occasions and events. CRL announced it will purchase this set in 2010.
Indian Public Opinion and Panjab Times 1870–77. CRL has the previous title (Lahore Chronicle 1850–68) and the later title (Civil Military Gazette 1929–32) of this primary source material for the study of Indian history. This purchase will make CRL’s holding complete. CRL announced it will purchase this set in 2010.
Kaiser-I-Hind. Founded in 1882 in Bombay, the newspapers Kaiser-I-Hind was the voice of the fledgling Indian National Congress and the Parsi community in the 19th and 20th centuries. It provides eyewitness coverage of the fortunes of this movement and of the career of Indian independence leader Mahatma Gandhi.
The Right Wing Extremist Press in the Former U.S.S.R., 1992-1999. Newspapers and magazines published by the ultranationalist political parties have sprung up in Russia and the former Soviet republics in the wake of the dissolution of the U.S.S.R. These materials vividly convey the extreme nationalist perspective – and rhetorical stridency – of these movements.
Shi shi Xin Bao (The China Times [Shanghai]) 1908–49. This primary source published in Shanghai covers a critical era in modern Chinese history, including the 1911 Revolution, the birth of the first republican government, and the growing Communist Movement, which led to the establishment of the People’s Republic of China. CRL announced it will purchase this set in 2010.
U.S. general circulation newspapers. The Center acquires microfilm editions of general circulation newspapers published in the U.S. with the intent of providing retrospective, nationwide coverage. The Center maintains a subscription to at least one newspaper from each state, in most cases to the paper from the largest city, and to newspapers from an additional 25 cities or metropolitan areas with the greatest population nationally. Individual titles are selected on the basis of availability on microform and quality of coverage.
Listed below are titles received on microfilm on a current basis. The backfiles of these titles or their other predecessor titles are eligible for demand purchase.
