Chronicling America (LoC)
The Library of Congress's collection of historic US newspaper pages from the 1700s through the 1960s, with OCR full text so the pages themselves are searchable.

Чем полезен и как работает
Chronicling America is essential for finding how events, people, and places were reported in real time across American history: its full-text OCR means you can search the actual words printed on newspaper pages, not just titles or metadata. Coverage spans from the late 1700s through 1963, with papers from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. You search by keyword, date range, state, or publication title through the loc.gov website, which Echo links you to directly.
