Arizona Newspapers

The Arizona Department of Libraries, Archives and Public Records at http://www.lib.az.us/ has copies of newspapers dating from 1860. The Arizona State University Library at http://www.asu.edu/lib/, University of Arizona Library at http://www.library.arizona.edu/, and large public libraries also have good collections of Arizona newspapers. The Family History Library has not acquired copies of the papers. A guide to locating early newspapers from the territorial era is Estelle Lutrell, Newspapers and Periodicals of Arizona, 1859-1911 (Tucson, Arizona: University of Arizona, 1950; Family History Library book 979.1 B2L).
