Title: Dallas newspapers in the run up to Nov 22nd 1963
Post by: Gerry Down on February 03, 2021, 02:06:48 AM

My understanding is that there were two main Dallas newspapers in Nov 1963:

The Dallas Morning News
The Dallas Times Herald

Does anyone know where I can get a collection of these newspapers (or articles related to JFKs upcoming motorcade in those newspapers) for the week or two weeks coming up to Nov 22nd 1963? Is there a collection of these newspaper articles anywhere on the internet or have they been published in any book that you know of?

The period i'm looking for would be Dallas newspapers between:
Nov 8th to Nov 22nd 1963
OR Nov 15th to Nov 22nd 1963

I'd like to be able to read the same newspaper articles about the upcoming Nov 22nd 1963 motorcade as Oswald himself had read.

Go to newspapers.com

They have newspapers archived from over 200 years. A subscription is required, but if you sign up, I believe they still give you a free trial before you have to pay.

FYI -- Newspapers.com doesn't have any of the Dallas papers archived for 1963. They carry the Fort Worth Star-Telegram though. I've saved many articles from that paper.
