Indexes to Newspapers with National and Worldwide Coverage The New York Times Index, 1851 to current (Ref AI 21 .N44) We begin with the granddaddy of all newspaper indexes. Paperbound supplements are kept in loose-leaf binders. Constant improvements in subject headings, cross-references, etc., as well as annotations serve to make the NYT Index useful for factual research quests and day-to-day developments. Includes photographs. Obituaries are especially useful for biographical information. Names of deceased are alphabetically listed under the heading DEATHS. Also a source of reviews, look under format, i.e. Book-- Reviews, Dancing--Reviews, Motion picture--Reviews, Opera--Reviews, Theater--Reviews, etc. Can serve as a rough-and-ready index to other newspapers (e.g., local newspapers which do not publish any index of their contents) by providing the date the times printed a certain story.
