University of Connecticut Index to the Early American Newspaper Microfilm Collection in the Homer Babbidge Library Compiled by Carole Dyal and Laura Raccagni Designed & Formatted by Meredith Petersons December 2003 [Revised March 2006] Research and Information Services Homer Babbidge Library University of Connecticut
Preface Index to the Early American Newspaper Microfilm Collection No history of a town or city can be written without recourse to its newspapers. Clarence S. Brigham The index that follows identifies the Early American Newspapers from the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries that have been preserved on microfilm for users of the Homer Babbidge Library. The collection incorporates newspapers from Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, and Virginia. The index arranges the newspapers by state, then by city or town, and finally by principal title. The dates of library holdings are noted for each. During these decades, newspapers rarely survived more than a few short years; and their titles changed several times during their lifespan. In order to accurately record the birth and death, title and location changes for the newspapers included in the Early American Newspapers Collection, the compilers viewed the microfilm for each title and consulted Clarence S. Brigham s invaluable History and Bibliography of American Newspapers. Brigham reports that the mortality of newspapers before 1821 is notable. Over half of 2120 papers in this period to be exact, 1118 papers expired before they had reached two years of existence; 1002 papers lived from two to four years; 541 from five to nine years; 302 from ten to nineteen years; 106 from twenty to twenty-nine years; 34 from thirty to thirty-nine years; 15 from forty to forty-nine years; and 10 from fifty to eighty seven years" (xii). Of those 10 that survived over fifty years, three were published in Connecticut: the Connecticut Gazette (New London, 1763 to 1820), the Connecticut Courant (Hartford, 1764 to 1820), and the Connecticut Journal (New Haven, 1767 to 1820). All three of these titles are available in the Babbidge collection. Most American newspapers from this period were weeklies, printed on folio or crown sheets; that is, they had four pages, each measuring about 11 x 17 or 10 x 15 inches (Mott, 43). Though circulations were small by modern standards, ranging from a few hundred to at most a few thousand, each copy was likely to be shared by many readers, either among individuals or at places of gathering such as coffee houses or taverns. Finally, a word on content: news from England and Europe (mostly having to do with politics and wars) was featured prominently, freely adapted from papers carried overseas by merchants and settlers. And though political actions and military events predominated, accidents, wrecks, fires, storms, agricultural yields, remarkables' and monstrosities, gaol breaks, epidemics and medical achievements, and crime news were all frequent (Mott, 101). -ii-
Then as now, advertising announcements represented the chief profit margin in the newspaper business. These varied in length from two or three lines to a column or more. Prominent were notices of runaways slaves, apprentices, and bondservants (Mott, 56). Works Cited: Brigham, Clarence S. History and Bibliography of American Newspapers, 1690 1820.
