Most SU students are accustomed to using the online databases to find their articles. For this assignment you will use print newspapers, microfiche and historical databases which contain camera-copy PDFs of articles.
Simply browsing older magazines or newspapers can be very helpful in getting a feel for a time period. If you are having problems finding what you need, the librarians will be happy to assist you.
To help you, here is a list of some of the newspapers available at SU that may help you with this project:
| NEWSPAPERS AT THE LIBRARY | ||

| Baltimore Sun | 1989-2006 | Microfilm |
| Baltimore Sun (Historical) | 1837-1988 | Databases |

Choose a paper size to match the portion of the page you wish to copy.
If you have difficulty identifying the complete citation from the microfiche, or want to pinpoint the exact date an article appears in a publication, look up the citation in a newspaper database. At the very top of the landing page, you can select which newspapers to search.
