newspaper archive
Periodical historical collection
A newspaper archive is a collection of past newspaper issues preserved for research, reference, or historical record.
Archives may be physical (bound volumes, microfilm) or digital databases searchable by date, keyword, or topic.
Libraries, universities, and newspapers themselves maintain archives: She found her grandfather's obituary in the newspaper archive.
Researchers use them to trace historical events, verify facts, or study how stories were reported at the time.
