"Over the past few years, the libraries at Cornell University and the University of Michigan, with assistance from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, have embarked upon notable digitization projects of nineteenth-century books, journals, and documents covering the antebellum period through Reconstruction. Known as the “Making of America” collections, the websites at these institutions allow for full-text searching with results displayed as scanned documents in their original format.
The holdings in the period from 1850 to 1900 are quite good, and offer a great digital repository for students. You may search these holdings if you use the advanced Google news archive portal, or go to the sites below directly rather than through Google. "
