American Indian Newspapers, the new collection from Adam Matthew, provides digital access to 200 years of North American indigenous journalism from a range of communities, historic pressings, and contemporary periodicals.
Representing a huge variety in style, production and audience, the newspapers include national periodicals as well as local community news, and student publications. This digital collection provides research opportunities into a range of subjects from an indigenous perspective, including the self-determination era and American Indian Movement (AIM), education, environmentalism, land rights, and cultural representation.
The collection has been developed with, and has only been made possible by, the permission and contribution of the newspaper publishers and Tribal Councils concerned. Adam Matthew Digital is extremely grateful for their continuing support of this project. As part of an ongoing relationship and mutual commitment to enabling and enhancing research opportunities, open access to American Indian Newspapers will be offered to all registered Tribal Colleges and Universities in the United States, who should contact marketing@amdigital.co.uk to obtain free open access.
