News subscriptions through the library
When did key events take place? Look at current events and get historical background from contemporaneous news accounts.
The Duke University libraries subscribe to over 150 newspapers in print, plus we subscribe to many databases that include news articles from papers, wire services, radio and TV.
- Many newspaper articles are included in Duke Libraries databases. You can also look up newspapers by title in e-journals.
- Accunet/AP Multimedia Archive
