Beyond the Headlines: Newspapers as Historical Evidence

Newspapers are like “the first rough draft of history” and are 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’ vast historical newspaper database collections.

This workshop is offered as part of Temple University Libraries' celebration of National News Literacy Week and will be offered as an online session via Zoom. You must register for this workshop. You will receive a registration confirmation email, which includes the Zoom link. This workshop will not be recorded, but a copy of the slides will be emailed after the workshop concludes.
