The Atlanta Historic Newspapers Archive

Tarver Library is pleased to announce the addition of Atlanta Historic Newspapers Archive to our online databases.

An initiative of the Digital Library of Georgia, Atlanta Historic Newspapers Archive provides online access to fourteen newspaper titles published in Atlanta from 1847 to 1922. Consisting of over 67,000 newspaper pages, the archive provides historical images that are both full-text searchable and can be browsed by date. The site will provide users with a record of Atlanta's history from its origins as a railroad terminus, through the devastation of the Civil War, to its eventual growth into one of the nation's largest cities.

The archive includes the following Atlanta newspaper titles:

  • Atlanta Daily Examiner (1857),
  • Atlanta Daily Herald (1873-1876),
  • Atlanta Georgian (1906-1911),
  • Atlanta Intelligencer (1851, 1854-1871),
  • Atlantian (1911-1922),
  • Daily/Georgia Weekly Opinion (1867-1868),
  • Gate-City Guardian (1861),
  • Georgia Literary and Temperance Crusader (1860-1861),
  • New Era (1869-1872), Southern Confederacy (1861-1864),
  • Southern Miscellany, and Upper Georgia Whig (1847),
  • Southern World (1882-1885),

Access to the archive is available through the library database listing or GALILEO Scholar.
