For Mini-Lab #3<\/a>, you will compare two journalists’ accounts from old newspapers or magazines. The paper’s due on Thursday 2\/18, but you should start on it early, because the research will take some time online.<\/p>\n

Basically you have two options. Option #1 = choose an event that took place between 1865 and 1900, and find TWO articles from that time period about the event, each from a different newspaper. Print each article to attach them to your paper.<\/p>\n

Option #2 = choose one chapter of Jacob Riis’s book How the Other Half Lives<\/em>, which is placed on 2-hour reserve at the College library circulation desk, and then find ONE newspaper article that fits with it, from about the same time period.<\/p>\n

Old newspaper articles can be searched in the following links:<\/p>\n

Boston Public Library –> Electronic Resources –> Newspapers –> Boston Globe (1872-1926)<\/a>. You will need an e-Card number, which you can sign up for online, under “My Account.”<\/p>\n

New York Times<\/a> Archive. Use the Search box, and specify “All results since 1851.” You can narrow the search by date or year, if you are searching for something that happened on a particular day, under “Advanced Search.” <\/p>\n

Brooklyn Daily Eagle (1841-1955)<\/a><\/p>\n

Harper’s Weekly<\/a><\/p>\n

You can use any of the old magazines from the Cornell University’s “Making of America<\/a>” online collection<\/p>\n

Colorado Historic Newspaper Collection (1859-1923)<\/a> – same kind of search engine as the Brooklyn Daily Eagle<\/p>\n

Library of Congress “Chronicling America” historic newspapers (1880-1922)<\/a><\/p>\n

California Digital Newspaper Collection<\/a><\/p>\n

Quincy, Illinois Historical Newspaper Archive (1835-1919)<\/a><\/p>\n

The Harvard Crimson (starts in 1873)<\/a><\/p>\n

Sioux County, Nebraska, Newspaper Archives (1872 to the present)<\/a><\/p>\n

Wyoming Newspaper Project <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
