Spanish-language newspapers:

Native American newspapers:
Many Native American newspapers published in New Mexico are available in the UNM Library. For historical titles, perform a search in the Library Catalog on a specific publication or use a subject term such as "Navajo newspapers" or "Indians of North America New Mexico newspapers"


Microfilm:
Many historical New Mexico newspapers are available only on microfilm, most of which is stored in the basement of Zimmerman Library. Search for newspapers in the Library Catalog by entering a paper title, or a place of publication followed by the word newspapers.


"What newspaper was published in [town] in [date]?"
The best resource for answering this question is the U. S. Newspaper Directory from the Library of Congress. Perform a search and review the catalog record of a specific newspaper. Select "Libraries that have it" in the blue bar at the top of the record. The site will information you which libraries, including UNM, have the title. NOTE: Be aware that many historical newspapers, especially ones from small towns, have not survived or are missing many issues.
