Newspaper Collection

(1793-present)

PAHRC holds one of the largest collections of Catholic newspapers in the United States. The newspaper collection contains Catholic newspapers from throughout the United States, as well as some Canadian Catholic newspapers. The collection covers the period primarily from the 1820’s through the 1940’s with the bulk of the collection covering the 1840’s through the 1920’s.  Included are early and prominent Catholic newspapers such as The United States Catholic Press (Hartford), The Catholic Miscellany (Charleston), The Catholic Herald (Philadelphia), The Catholic Mirror (Baltimore), The Catholic Advocate (Louisville), The Pilot (Boston), The Catholic Telegraph (Cincinnati) and The Freeman’s Journal (New York City). The collection also includes Irish-American and German-American newspapers. Notable also is perhaps the largest extant collection of Redpath’s Weekly.
