ProQuest has added to their Historical Newspapers Collection three American
Jewish Newspapers: The Jewish Advocate (Boston-based weekly-the
oldest-continuously-circulating Jewish newspaper in America), The American
Hebrew & Jewish Messenger (from 1857) and later this year they will add The
Jewish Exponent (1887-1990) and the Jerusalem Post (1932-1988)  as an
International complement.
 
ProQuest Historical Newspapers  Collection are subscription -based through
libraries. Libraries may chose which newspapers they subscribe to from the
collection.  If you are interested in having these newspapers available at
your library you need to make your interest known. IAJGS has been successful
and fortunate in having the entire ProQuest Historical Newspaper Collection
available in the Resource Room/Center computers at recent IAJGS Conferences
in Philadelphia (2009) and Washington DC (2011) and will continue to work
with ProQuest to try to have this resource available at future IAJGS
conferences.  To read more about ProQuest click here.
