Latin American Library Newspaper Holdings

The Latin American Library receives several current newspapers from Central America and elsewhere in Latin America and the Caribbean, and maintains a large collection of newspapers of historical interest. This page lists the library's longest runs of particular titles, but the LAL card catalog contains a complete list of the library's newspaper holdings. An important supplement to the newspaper holdings is the collection of microfilmed newspapers available by loan to Tulane affiliates from the Center for Research Libraries. Additional Latin American and Caribbean newspapers are available by loan from other academic libraries. See the LASER newspaper union list for newspapers available for loan by the major Latin American collections in the Southeast U.S. For historical background on academic library newspaper collections, see Steven M. Charno, Latin American newspapers in United States libraries (LAL Reference Z6947.L36).

The recent issues of a number of Latin American newspapers are available on the internet. Among the most useful of these newspaper websites is La Jornada, which offers keyword searching of more than eight years of back issues of the Mexico City newspaper. For links to the websites of additional Latin American newspapers, see the News page at UT-LANIC.
