Using Newspapers in Historical Research

Newspapers are like “the first rough draft of history” and are, therefore, an invaluable resource when researching events, individuals, and issues in the context of their time. Because newspaper articles are sometimes the only record of historical events, scholars from a variety of disciplines can benefit from them.

Join us to gain strategies for conducting historical newspaper research with a discerning eye, using the Libraries’ newly expanded historical newspaper database collections.

This workshop is offered as part of Temple University Libraries' celebration of National News Literacy Week 2024.

This workshop will be offered as an online session via Zoom. You must register for this workshop to receive the Zoom link via a confirmation email. On the day of the workshop, use the link to join the session.
