There are several types of reference sources that can assist with and enrich foreign newspaper research. These resources provide biographical, circulation, and other information about foreign newspapers.
Newspaper bibliographies include title, dates, place of publication as well as a paper's focus. Numerous bibliographies treat newspapers and newspaper history.
Directories identify newspaper titles published in specific locations or time periods.
Union lists present lists of newspapers in geographic arrangement according to place of publication, and specify which libraries or other institutions hold collections of those newspapers and dates of their holdings. These can be useful for tracking title changes throughout a newspaper's history.
Newspaper checklists present lists of newspapers held at a particular institution, arranged geographically by place of publication.
Newspaper indexes list articles classified by subjects, names, or other items found in a newspaper. They can be used to find citations that will lead to specific issues and page numbers for articles.
Almanacs / Yearbooks provide a compendium of information that can include statistical data and directories for a geographic area(s), such as population, economy, industry, finance, government, politics, as well as media, including lists of newspapers.
Please note that the records in the Library of Congress Online Catalog can sometimes be unreliable, and there may be more reference sources available beyond what you are able to find in the Online Catalog. For questions or assistance with identifying or locating reference sources, please contact the Newspaper & Current Periodical Reading Room where reference librarians are happy to help!
