Update coming to the free newspapers on Chronicling America

Love the free newspapers on Chronicling America? News this week from the Library of Congress:

 

We’re Upgrading on August 4!

On August 4, 2025, users will automatically be sent from the legacy version of Chronicling America to a new version of Chronicling America with added features and tools. If at any point we are not successful, we will undo the URL redirects. After August 4, the URL chroniclingamerica.loc.gov will continue to be the home of the Chronicling America collection and will permanently redirect people to the new site.

We encourage you to begin using the new site. Please use the following resources to assist you with using the new site:

Please email Ask-A-Librarian if you encounter any issues.

  1. Thank you for this information. I was disappointed that the new website was the NEH website and not a new version of Chronicling America. Perhaps the new website won’t be available until August 4?

    1. With the issues in the federal government and so many cutbacks, it’s going to be a challenge on all this. I try to keep abreast of what’s happening with our libraries and archives, but the media doesn’t always concentrate on what historians and genealogists need to know.
