United States Newspapers Index (PDF) U.S. Newspapers Briscoe Center for American History The Briscoe Center for American History's newspaper collections also contain titles from around the United States. These titles are limited to the few dates listed or an incomplete, brief date run. A significant part of this collection consists of several hundred linear feet of newspapers published in every state of the Confederacy from the 1790s through the early 1900s. Holdings include extensive runs of early newspapers in hard copy from Charleston, South Carolina (1795-1942), Augusta, Georgia (1806-1885), New Orleans, Louisiana (1837-1914), and Little Rock, Arkansas (1819-1863). Many issues are scarce or extremely rare, including the only known copies of several important antebellum Louisiana and Mississippi newspapers. Many of these newspapers are in Original Format (OR), and cannot be photocopied. Patrons have the option of photographing these newspapers themselves with no additional lighting and under the direct supervision of the Reading Room staff. Patrons must complete an Items Photographed by Patrons ​ form. The resulting images are for research only and may not be published. ​ Frequency: d=daily, w=weekly, tw=tri-weekly, sw=semi-weekly, m=monthly, sm=semi-monthly, u=unknown Format: OR=Original newspaper, MF=Microfilm, RP=Reproduction *an asterisk indicates all or part of the newspaper is stored offsite and requires advance notice for retrieval ALABAMA Alabama, Birmingham Sunday Morning Chronicle (w) Dec 9, 1883 OR (oversize) ​ Alabama, Carrollton West Alabamian (w) Jan 1870-Dec 1871, Jan-Apr 11, 1877 OR* ​ Alabama, Hamilton Hamilton Times (u) Apr 9, 1891 OR ​ Alabama, Mobile Church Calendar (u) Feb 23, 1870 OR* ​ Mobile Daily Register (d) Nov 27, 1860 [frag.] OR ​ Alabama, Montgomery Montgomery Advertiser (d) Aug 14, 1904;

  • “Extracts from Some Rebel Papers”: Patriots, Loyalists, and the Perils of Wartime Printing
    1 “Extracts from some Rebel Papers”: Patriots, Loyalists, and the Perils of Wartime Printing Joseph M. Adelman National Endowment for the Humanities Fellow American Antiquarian Society Presented to the Joint Seminar of the McNeil Center for Early American Studies And the Program in Early American Economy and Society, LCP Library Company of Philadelphia, 1314 Locust Street, Philadelphia 24 February 2012 3-5 p.m. *** DRAFT: Please do not cite, quote, or distribute without permission of the author. *** 2 The eight years of the Revolutionary War were difficult for the printing trade. After over a decade of growth and increasing entanglement among printers as their networks evolved from commercial lifelines to the pathways of political protest, the fissures of the war dispersed printers geographically and cut them off from their peers. Maintaining commercial success became increasingly complicated as demand for printed matter dropped, except for government printing, and supply shortages crippled communications networks and hampered printers’ ability to produce and distribute anything that came off their presses. Yet even in their diminished state, printers and their networks remained central not only to keeping open lines of communication among governments, armies, and civilians, but also in shaping public opinion about the central ideological issues of the war, the outcomes of battles, and the meaning of events affecting the war in North America and throughout the Atlantic world. What happened to printers and their networks is of vital importance for understanding the Revolution. The texts that historians rely on, from Common Sense and The Crisis to rural newspapers, almanacs, and even diaries and correspondence, were shaped by the commercial and political forces that printers navigated as they produced printed matter that defined the scope of debate and the nature of the discussion about the war.

    Warner.communicating.liberty-1 Communicating Liberty: the Newspapers of the British Empire as a Matrix for the American Revolution William B. Warner “I beg your lordship’s permission to observe, and I do it with great concern, that this spirit of opposition to taxation and its consequences is so violent and so universal throughout America that I am apprehensive it will not be soon or easily appeased. The general voice speaks discontent… determined to stop all exports to and imports from Great Britain and even to silence the courts of law…foreseeing but regardless of the ruin that must attend themselves in that case, content to change a comfortable, for a parsimonious life,…” Lieutenant-Governor of South Carolina, Wm. Bull to Earl of Dartmouth, July 31, 1774. [Documents of the American Revolution, 1770-1783, Ed. K. G. Davies. (Dublin: Irish University Press, 1975) VIII: 1774, 154.] Momentous historical events often issue from a nexus of violence and communication. While American independence from Britain ultimately depended upon the spilling of blood on the battlefields of Bunker Hill, Saratoga and Yorktown, the successful challenge to the legitimacy of British rule in America was the culmination of an earlier communications war waged by American Whigs between the Stamp Act agitation of 1764-5 and the Coercive Acts of 1774. In response to the first of the Coercive acts--the Boston Port Bill--Boston Whigs secured a tidal wave of political and material support from throughout the colonies of British America. By the end of 1774, the American Secretary at Whitehall, Lord Dartmouth, was receiving reports from colonial Governors of North America, like the passage quoted above from the Lieutenant-Governor of South Caroline, William Bull.
