Morse Institute Library Resource

Access World News is a resource you can search for free using your Natick Minuteman Library card. It features digital coverage from US and some World newspapers and other news services. Dates can go back to 1860, but in most cases coverage for publications is late 20th century to present. Search filters can be used to identify publications within a state, country, time period the digital coverage is provided, specific date of event, and more. Once you are in the database, located the top blue menu, choose "Change Databases" and choose "All Databases." On the next page, choose "USA" or "World." 

 

Using Free Resources - Need to Know

This guide provides information and links to resources that offer free access to international, historic online newspapers. But while these collections are digital, some may not be remotely available to search from home. You may need to call the owning institution to see if and how you can access their digital collection from home.
