Don't know if your hometown had a newspaper for a certain year? Search the Newspaper Directory from the Library of Congress to find what newspapers were in print for specific times and places. The directory allows you to search for counties and cities within a state.
The Center for Research Libraries (CRL) is another excellent resource for books, periodicals, manuscripts, newspapers, and archival materials in print, microfilm, and digital formats. FSU belongs to this international consortium of university, college, and independent research libraries, which allows FSU patrons to borrow CRL materials via interlibrary loan for extended periods.
One way to identify key collections is through CRL Topic Guides.
Journals from National Communication Associations
