Global Press Archive Assets Update

Phase One of the Global Press Archive Alliance, a collaboration between the Centre for Research Libraries and East View, is nearly complete. Along with many other research libraries, the U of A Library supported this collaborative effort to digitize a broad swath of newspapers from around the world. There’s now a database asset in the A-Z list for each regional collection, plus a general GPA asset for those who wish to search the whole platform. If you search the databases list with “Global Press Archive,” you will retrieve all these options.

Here’s a list:

Global Press Archive

El Caribe Digital Archive

East African Newspapers

Middle Eastern and North African Newspapers

Southeast Asian Newspapers

Late Qing and Republican-Era Chinese Newspapers

Imperial Russian Newspapers

Independent and Revolutionary Mexican Newspapers

Thanks to Lisa on the bibhelp team for adding several new assets this week, and to Beau in ITS for proxying links where needed.
