Good news from ULS: The Historical Los Angeles Times (1881-1986) and The Historical Washington Post (1877-1991) have been added to Pitt's collection of ProQuest Historical Newspapers. These databases contain images of the original newspaper articles and photos (availability of photos depends on copyright ownership). The Los Angeles Times provides in-depth analysis of the development of California and the Pacific Rim, a focus on immigration issues and the development of the American West, coverage of the early days of the film industry, and unique coverage of Native American culture and society. The Washington Post provides comprehensive political and government reporting, distinguished opinions and editorials, photo essays, and investigative reporting.
We have had the Washington Post available via Lexis with coverage beginning from January 1, 1977 through current (Westlaw has only the Business Section for the past 90 days) and the LA Times available via both Lexis and Westlaw From January 01, 1985 through current. The historic archives are also available on the WaPo and LATimes websites on a pay-per-article basis.
