Home - Suomi mainittu! – Finland in American News in the Late Nineteenth Century

Overview

Primary sources are essential to the study and research of history, but most of the time students only read textbooks, journal articles, and other academic material. It is, of course, important to study what has been researched, but with such sources the history has already been written out. This is where Gale Primary Sources provides a great opportunity. When researching the great wave of Finnish emigration destined for the United States during the latter half of the Long Nineteenth Century, Nineteenth Century U.S. Newspapers offers a range of primary source material published during that period.

Nineteenth Century U.S. Newspapers

Nineteenth Century U.S. Newspapers
As a new American nation emerged in the 1800s, the first draft of history was written by those who experienced it and recorded it in newspaper pages from coast to coast. Nineteenth Century U.S. Newspapers provides an as-it-happened window on events, culture, and daily life in nineteenth-century America that is of interest to both professional and general researchers. With 1.8 million pages available, the collection features publications of all kinds, from the political party newspapers at the beginning of the nineteenth century to the mammoth dailies that shaped the nation at the century's end. Major newspapers stand alongside those published by African Americans, Native Americans, women’s rights groups, labor groups, and the Confederacy. Titles were selected by leading scholars of the nineteenth-century American press, and headnotes have been included for the individual titles.
