NewsBank -- IN LIBRARY AND CITY OF MADISON RESIDENT USE ONLY
Newspaper access to national newspapers including coverage for Wisconsin State Journal (1989- present), Capital Times (1989- present), and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (1990-present). Access to these papers was formerly provided through ProQuest as part of a statewide contract through BadgerLink (June 2009).

Newspaper Archive
NewspaperARCHIVE includes close to 30 million scanned pages from newspapers spanning over 200 years. The content of the newspapers is not indexed by subject, and advanced searching of this very large database is not available. You may only search NewspaperARCHIVE in two ways: search the full-text by keyword or browse the collection by date and newspaper location & title. This is an invaluable primary resource for historical research and a unique tool for genealogists. Access to this resource through EBSCOhost is provided as part of the BadgerLink project
