HIST 301: The Historian’s Craft: Reading, Research and Writing History

Drawing on holdings of The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, this collection includes manuscript material, posters, broadsides, pamphlets and other materials related to American history from the start of the colonies through the end of the second world war.

The goal of this database is to assemble and make fully-searchable a comprehensive collection of Klan and other white nationalist newspapers alongside newspapers published by Catholic, African-American and Jewish organizations who rose to oppose the rising tide of hate and bigotry. The collection contains national Klan publications (for example: the Imperial Night-Hawk and the Kourier) as well as regional and local Klan produced papers (i.e., Sgt. Daltons Weekly, Jayhawker American, and the Minnesota Fiery Cross). The collection will also include a set of papers sympathetic to the Klan (i.e., The Good Citizen and The Fellowship Forum) alongside anti-Klan publications (Tolerance, The Record, Our Sunday Visitor).

Digital archive of Spanish-language newspapers printed in the U.S. during the 19th and 20th centuries. Features hundreds of titles, many published bilingually in Spanish and English.
