Hispanic American Newspapers, 1808-1980, offers a diversity of unabridged voices, ranging from intellectuals and literary notables to politicians, union organizers, and grassroots figures.
Who should use it?
This is a great resource for researchers, students, faculty, and staff looking for primary sources in the form of newspaper articles and images. Great for history, archival, ethnic studies, and related research areas.
Why use a database?
When you use a specific database, rather than a search engine or discovery tool, you often can find more relevant sources. For example, subject databases include sources about that subject only, rather than a general search engine or discovery tool that includes information about everything. This way you don’t have to wade through thousands of irrelevant results!
