Pennsylvania Gazette
Folio I: 1728-1750 and Folio II: 1751-1765
Accessible Archives, Inc.

The Pennsylvania Gazette was printed in Philadelphia from 1728 through the early 1800's. It was the "New York Times of its day." This electronic edition provides instant access to one of the premier documents chronicling life in the American colonies. Heretofore it has been difficult to locate all information from the paper on a given topic. Now one may gather all appearances of a word or topic in a matter of moments, and see the material as it was originally published. Major subjects including African Americans and King George's War may be searched comprehensively with the user-friendly interface.

This electronic edition of the Pennsylvania Gazette is being issued on three CD-ROM discs, and at this time we hold the first volume, Folio I:1728-1750, and the second volume, Folio II: 1751-1765. The Accessible Archives CD-ROM contains the full text of the newspaper, fully searchable using Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT).

The transcribed individual entries, complete with full bibliographic citation, are linked to an electronic image of the original manuscript.

Document imaging technology made it possible to include photographic images of the entire paper -- with the advertisements, pictures, and original text -- just as the paper appeared when it was first published.

The user may print or download either the textual material, or the photographic images of the document.

The Pennsylvania Gazette on CD-ROM provides a valuable tool for the historian and the genealogist. Family names can be entered and every occurrence will be displayed. Newspapers from the period may be the most enlightening source of information in areas such as the shadowy world of runaway servants, foodstuffs and commodities, the consumer revolution, the government and politicians of the times, women, celebrations, and the sensationalism of crime and public punishment. The disc provides an easy way to view regional and local news of the period. Through instant access windows and keyword search, researchers, teachers and students can view and manipulate this rich, primary source material in new ways.
