The Boston Globe has full-text coverage back to 1980.

The Boston Metropolitan Collection contains many of the weekly community newspapers in the area, such as the Somerville Journal, Cape Cod Times, Brookline TAB, and, most importantly for us, the Cambridge Chronicle back to 2005.

If you need to look things up from an earlier date, you should try our Historic Cambridge Newspaper Collection. This database contains all historic Cambridge newspapers that are in the Cambridge Public Library’s collection and do not have copyright restrictions. Newspapers, which are fully searchable and freely available, include the Cambridge Chronicle (1846-1923), the Cambridge Press (1887-1889), the Cambridge Sentinel (1903-1912), and the Cambridge Tribune (1887-1923), covering major historical events from Cambridge’s incorporation as a city in 1846 to the early years of prohibition.
