Argus Digital Collection Indexed from 1894-2003

I love it when someone submits a resource and I ask them to submit it again when it's a little further along and they actually DO -- over a year later!

Illinois Wesleyan University's newspaper, The Argus, has been published continuously since 1894. And now the archives from the newspaper from 1894-2003 are now available. You can check them out at http://www.iwu.edu/library/services/argus1.htm .

A list of indexed terms are available from 1965-2003, so those are the only dates available for keyword searching. All the papers are browsable, though, by date.

I searched for the phrase Jimmy Carter. I got three results. Results list only the dates. Click on the icon next to the date and you'll get an image of the front page. Click again and you'll get the complete issue as a PDF, including advertisements, which are always interesting years after the fact. Even the earlier editions of the paper are pretty easy to read, though the photographs in the early 80s volumes I looked at were pretty rough.
