Washington Historic Newspapers Now Available in PDF
Washington State’s Historical Newspapers as digitized by the Washington State Library are now available in PDF format. This means that teachers, students, and public library users no longer need to download the DJVU viewer in order to use the historical newspaper collection online. (DJVU format is still available for those who prefer it.) To view and/or search the newspaper collection, go to the Historic Newspapers in Washington site or search our Washington electronic newspaper holdings in the Washington State Library Catalog.
Historical newspapers from Washington State’s territorial period (1853-1889) are excellent primary source documents to support the new Social Studies CBA requirements. Teachers and students will particularly appreciate Moments in History, the pre-selected groups of articles on popular research topics. Additionally, Classics in Washington History, a digital collection of rare, out of print books, is also available in full-text for searching and viewing in PDF format.
