Colorado Historic Newspapers

The Colorado Historic Newspapers Collection (CHNC) currently includes 250 newspaper titles published in Colorado from 1859 up to 1923 and beyond with publisher permission. Newspapers within the collection come from throughout the state, and include papers published in English, German, Spanish, Swedish and Japanese. CHNC provides access to over 1,200,000 and growing, 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.  To explore the database of over one million pages of historic newspapers, check out CHNC yourself.
