Over two million in stock... For over 30 years we have dealt exclusively in rare & historic newspapers, having amassed an inventory of over 2 million issues dating from the 1600's thru the 1990's. Click on the link above to see over 10,000 issues currently listed on our website, which is in addition to over 1000 issues offered in our quarterly catalog (available for $4 each). Whether you are looking for Thomas Nast or Winslow Homer prints within Harper's Weekly issues, issues from the Colonial, Revolutionary War, Civil War, Gold Rush, or Old West Eras, content related to Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, or John Adams, or 20th Century issues with Babe Ruth, New York Yankees, Titanic, Pearl Harbor, or gangster content, we probably have what you need.

Where do we get our inventory?... Through the years local libraries have amassed large collections of newspapers, often binding them into volumes by year and storing them on library shelves for use by researchers. With the advent of microfilm in the 1960's, many libraries converted their "hard copies" to film, being easier to use and taking much less care and space. Most of our inventory has come from such libraries that have deaccessioned their newspaper holdings. Every issue we offer is guaranteed to be genuine.

A World Of Fascination Awaits... Almost everyone has tucked aside a newspaper or two from recent memory, but few are aware that newspapers are available dating back over 300 years. Explore our web site to find Civil War newspapers with front page battle reports for $13. Find newspapers published during George Washington's administration for $25, or issues with front page accounts of Indian skirmishes for $16. Genuine issues published in 1685 are offered here for $25.

Why So Inexpensive?... A hobby still very much undiscovered by the public, prices for genuine, complete newspapers dating as far back as the 1600's are very low due to limited demand, making this the perfect opporunity to amass a fascinating collection with a modest investment.

But Don't They Just Fall Apart?... To the surprise of many, newspapers published before 1880 remain in very nice condition as the paper had high cotton and linen content. Most issues from the 1600's and 1700's are in much better condition than issues from World War I, hence little care is needed for issues over 120 years old.

Read History From When It Was Made... What could be a better source for history than newspapers of the day? A newspaper is the lifeblood of history - it is drama in the making. Read the Boston Gazette of March 12, 1770 and learn of the massacre in that city and gain an appreciation of the revolutionary spirit never before imagined. Every newspaper we offer is a firsthand reflection of life at that time - when descriptive ads for runaway slaves were commonplace. When Paul Revere advertised his "bell foundry" in local papers. When recently enacted laws, signed in type by George Washington, were published in the daily paper.

Please view the items within our store. We're sure you will find yourself among the few who have discovered this most fascinating hobby.
