Newfoundland and Labrador Web Sites by Subject

The Atlantic Canada Newspaper Survey is an excellent source of information about goods and services offered for sale in major East Coast newspapers before 1900 and as early as the 1600's. This database documents the region's material culture, providing data on the probable origin and use of items such as machinery, transportation and communications equipment, food and beverages, personal household goods, live animals, and crude and fabricated materials.

Newfoundland Public Libraries Newspaper Index

Coverage includes various years of three daily newspapers, the Evening Telegram (St. John's), the Daily News (St. John's) and the Western Star (Corner Brook).

Entries for the Western Star are primarily from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.
