All New Orleans Public Library Locations including City Archives & Special Collections will be closed on Thursday, November 27 and Friday, November 28 for Thanksgiving.

Newspapers

The City Archives & Special Collections maintains a robust collection of newspapers in multiple formats. Titles and publication locations of newspapers in our collection are listed below, along with date ranges and formats. Researchers should note that date ranges are not always complete, and that there may be significant gaps in our holdings. Microfilmed newspapers are available to registered researchers by appointment. Digital papers can be accessed at any library location or at home with a valid New Orleans Public Library card.

Due to an ongoing digitization project, only the titles listed below are available at this time.  If you have any questions, please contact us at Ask An Archivist
