About Library of Congress Newspapers
This Library of Congress research guide lists digital resources for finding foreign newspapers, both historical and current. It links to national libraries that hold newspaper collections, to freely available digital collections of non-U.S. newspapers, and to online tools for identifying newspaper titles, library holdings, and indexes.
The Library states that its foreign newspaper collections are extensive but not comprehensive, and that no single source covers every newspaper. Subscription databases with word-searchable foreign newspapers are listed, but they can only be accessed on-site at the Library of Congress. The Library's reference staff say they cannot vouch for the accuracy or currency of the external resources it links to.
