The Claremont Colleges Library provides access to the New York Times in two ways: individual online subscriptions and through our databases.
The Claremont Colleges Library now offers access to the Digital New York Times | All Access, which includes the News, Games, Cooking, The Athletic, and more. After setting up your account, you can access NYT content directly through the nytimes.com site and their mobile apps.
Please see our Instructions for Setting Up Your Account.
The Claremont Colleges Library has access to the current New York Times (1980 to present) and historical New York Times (1851-2012), which are found in the library databases by filtering with All Formats > Newspapers & News Sources.
Library newspaper databases provide access to the current and historical print version of the publication. Current issues appear in plain text format, while older articles are PDF scans of the print version. These databases are primarily text-based, so you may not see photographs, blogs, charts, advertisements like you would from the newspaper website.
Helpful Tips & Tricks for finding newspaper articles in databases:
If you find an article on the NY Times website but don't have full text access to it, you can search by the title in the current New York Times (1980 to present) database (or use your NYT individual online subscription).
Some articles published by the NYT are only available on their website. These online-only articles are not available in NYT databases. Use your NYT individual online subscription to find these articles.
If you don't find the article in the Library's database by searching for the title or author, try browsing through issues by the publication date.
Sometimes article titles (and publication dates) will change between the print version of the paper and web version (or vice versa).
