Chronicling America - Library of Congress - National Digital Newspaper Program
http://www.loc.gov/chroniclingamerica/

As of March 2011, Chronicling America provides free and searchable access to more than 3.3 million pages of historic newspapers, published between 1860 and 1922. These newspapers are selected and digitized by NEH awardees through the National Digital Newspaper Program (http://www.neh.gov/projects/ndnp.html), per Library of Congress technical guidelines (see http://www.loc.gov/ndnp/guidelines/ ). Page-level data presented through Chronicling America include JPEG2000, PDF images, and searchable page text. To date, twenty-two state awardees and the Library of Congress have contributed content to the site from newspapers published in Arizona, California, the District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Washington. Three additional states (New Mexico, Tennessee and Vermont) will be adding content in Spring 2011. The site will continue to expand over time (potentially, twenty years) to eventually include all 54 states and territories with newspapers published between 1836 and 1922. This will be added to Data Mining Resources Subject Tracerâ„¢. This has been added to Research Resources Subject Tracerâ„¢ Information Blog.
