This guide provides access to Black Press resources available through Tulane University Libraries.

Find Local Print Holdings

Several New Orleans libraries have rich collections of Black American newspapers in print and microform, especially Amistad Research Center.

If you're looking to see if a library has a specific newspaper, search the title in the catalogs below.

If you're not searching for a particular title, try subject searches like these to surface results:

  • "African Americans" AND newspapers
  • "African American newspapers"
  • "African American press"

Request Microforms or Digitization on Demand

Tulane Libraries is a member of the Center for Research Libraries (CRL), which has extensive holdings of newspapers on microform. You can request CRL microforms, or digitization-on-demand of their microforms, through Tulane's Interlibrary Loan loan system.
