NEW in 2011! ProQuest Historical Newspapers are now cross-searchable with the newspapers in ProQuest Newsstand

"Subscribing institutions with historical content will be very pleased to see that searching can be done across the current and archival files... Being able to search the historical newspaper content alongside the current content in addition to the other files removes a barrier to access for this important resource".
—Elizabeth Ten Have, Director of library academic partnerships, Drexel University Libraries (Searcher, March 2011)

"Newspapers live only in the present tense and, as a consequence, give the time traveller an unparalleled sense of what the world was like - the prejudices, the habits, manners and preoccupations seen through a fixed prism."
—Richard Eyre, (Saturday Guardian, March 11, 2007)
