Chronicling America - Historic American Newspapers
"Search America's historic newspapers pages from 1836-1922 or use the U.S. Newspaper Directory to find information about American newspapers published between 1690-present. Chronicling America is sponsored jointly by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Library of Congress."
While the resource is American only, it is a great opportunity for students to spend time with primary source documents.
