Illinois Newspaper Project Database
The objective of the INP database is to make all the information discovered about Illinois newspapers available to users all over the world. It contains comprehensive information about newspapers that have been identified and cataloged, as well as titles preserved by microfilming. Users can search for newspapers by county, city, and title, and will soon be able to search by subject. They can also browse by county using an interactive map of Illinois.
The database shows when and where the newspapers were published. The holdings information is listed underneath the descriptive information about the newspaper, and informs users what repositories in Illinois have which issues, and whether they have original newsprint or microfilm. The Participant Locator provides specific contact information for all institutions that the INP has inventoried.
The database also provides search tips, information regarding newspaper title changes, and a user guide to assist with searching.
