Digital Newspapers at MNHS
The Minnesota Historical Society holds the largest single collection of Minnesota newspapers, with publication dates ranging from 1849 to the present day.
Here’s a list of current and future online collections and resources.
Minnesota Digital Newspaper Hub
The Minnesota Digital Newspaper Hub is a searchable website from the Minnesota Historical Society that makes millions of pages of Minnesota newspapers available online. The Hub contains geographically and culturally diverse newspapers published between 1849 and today, with new content added regularly. Due to potential copyright restrictions, most issues published after 1977 can only be accessed from the Gale Family Library at the Minnesota History Center. Explore the Newspaper Hub.
The newspaper titles previously included in Historical Minneapolis Tribune (1867-1922) are now incorporated into the broader Minnesota Digital Newspaper Hub.
