Meet SNEWPapers

SNEWPapers is a research platform for exploring historical American newspapers. It uses AI to organize newspaper stories and supports searches by meaning as well as filters such as date, state, and category. Researchers can move from a topic or question toward relevant articles without relying entirely on exact wording from an old headline.

Collections provide a way to save related discoveries and organize an investigation, with options for private work or sharing selected material. Sleuth, the site's research assistant, answers questions with references that can be followed back to source stories. A Today in History view offers another route into the archive for readers exploring events, people, and everyday life from earlier periods.
