Colorado's Historic Newspaper Collection

Colorado's Historic Newspaper Collection is a searchable online database that  includes Colorado's earliest historic newspapers.  Early years of over 60 newspapers, including the Rocky Mountain News, Boulder Camera, Colorado Chieftain are now available online.  The digital collection now contains over 250,000 pages covering 1859 - 1924, and represents 56 Colorado cities and 38 counties.   

Researchers can 
leaf through an issue page by page
search the database by topic
look at an individual article by itself or as part of the full page
search through articles, graphics, letters to the editor and ads
search a single newspaper, a group of papers or all papers

The project is a collaboration of the Colorado Digitization Program, the Colorado State Library and the Colorado Historical Society. The project is partially funded by LSTA and IMLS grants.
