News and Newspapers Library Guide

Your guide to local, national, and international news sources, both recent and historical, available through Tulane Libraries and beyond.

Intro

Media Services, located on the 6th floor of Howard-Tilton Memorial Library, is home to a rich microform collection of archival documents and historical newspapers including many titles not available in print or online.

You can find microfilm/microfiche printers and scanners at Media Services. The digital scanners enable reading, scanning, and printing microforms; editing scanned documents; saving documents to a flash drive; and sending files to an email account, Dropbox, or a Google Drive account.

How to Find Microform Newspapers

Newspapers on microform are cataloged and discoverable in Library Search.
