Colorado Historic Newspapers
The Colorado Historic Newspapers Collection (CHNC) currently includes more than 5 million digitized pages, representing more than 800 individual newspaper titles published in Colorado from 1859 to 2024. New titles and issues are added on a regular basis. And best of all the CHNC can be browsed and searched for free!
Newspapers within the collection come from throughout the state, and include papers published in English, German, Italian, Japanese, Serbian, Slovenian, Spanish, and Swedish. CHNC provides access to over 5,000,000 digitized pages from these newspapers. Digitization of additional newspapers continues through a local fund-raising model with contributions made by local libraries, archives, museums, and other organizations. Newspapers are digitized from microfilm or from the original newspaper. For more information about the CHNC, see our help and forums page.
