The University of Massachusetts Amherst

Newspaper Collection: Foreign Newspapers by Country & City

Foreign Newspapers: Introduction

The following geographical listing of international newspapers is arranged by country and then alphabetically by city. Brackets [ ] indicate incomplete holdings. For the most accurate holdings information consult with a Reference Librarian or check the online catalog.  Current UMass Amherst students, faculty, and staff enjoy remote access to the online resources while others are welcome to use these resources within the University Libraries.

The W.E.B. Du Bois Library at the University of Massachusetts Amherst houses an outstanding newspaper collection. Acquired through purchase, donation, and subscription, these primary sources document historical events as they occurred by those who witnessed them.  Newspapers provide a treasure-trove of information for genealogists - vital research clues (relationships, dates, addresses, etc.), insights into ancestors’ daily lives, and private tidbits unavailable elsewhere.
