Research in Newspapers

John Fea   |  June 18, 2009 Leave a Comment

I have occasionally worked on projects that require me or one of my work-study students to read historic newspapers. For example, my half-baked project on the history and memory of the Greenwich Tea Burning of 1774, an event in which Philip Vickers Fithian may have been involved, requires me to examine the way the tea party was celebrated and commemorated at various points in the decades and centuries following the event.

I thus found Rachel Leow’s recent post at A Historian’s Craft to be very helpful. If you are a student or historian doing research in newspapers, Rachel offers some excellent tips.
