Digital Library of Georgia expands Savannah Historic Newspapers Archive

The electronic archive of Savannah’s historic newspapers has been expanded through the Digital Library of Georgia, based at the UGA Libraries.

The Savannah Historic Newspapers Archive (http://dlg.galileo.usg.edu/savnewspapers) provides online access to 17 newspaper titles published in Savannah from 1809 to 1880. Consisting of more than 103,000 newspaper pages, the archive provides historical images that are both full-text searchable and can be browsed by date.

Additionally, the site is compatible with all current browsers without the use of plug-ins or software downloads.

The Savannah Historic Newspapers Archive is a project of the Digital Library of Georgia, as part of the Georgia HomePLACE initiative.
