LibGuides: Remote Research and Dance: Databases Through NYPL

Newspapers

Digitized Newspapers can be a great asset in lieu of the clippings files that you would normally access at the Library for the Performing Arts. The New York Times 1980-Present is one database that is always accessible remotely. Currently we have expanded home access to the following databases; The New York Times 1851-2013, The Wall Street Journal 1889-Present, Newspapers.com, and America’s Historical Newspapers through the Readex Databases. Through all of these you will be able to find reviews, dance news, obituaries, and any number of helpful articles.
