IDC Publishers offers a collection of 1,250 newspapers from 32 countries in 41 languages from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries on microform. The collected titles were originally published on all (sub)continents of the globe. IDC publishers has created an online newspaper catalog that allows searching in this collection. Searching may be done by keyword, title, place, country, language, or area. Search results for a search on a place, such as London, merely inform you of which papers came from there that are available to be bought from the IDC company, the type of microformat, number of reels, and the company's order number. From here, check M.S.U.'s online catalog to see if we own the title. If we do not, check WorldCat and CRL Catalog. If listed there, you may wish to use interlibrary services in an attempt to borrow the paper on microform.
