Object Story
Newspapers from the 19th century, produced by notable publishers like New York Tribune, Burk & Co., and The Semi-Weekly Times, are made of paper and remain in good functional condition. These American-made newspapers, dating back to 1821, 1862, 1864, and 1899, hold significant cultural, military, and media associations. They were mass-produced and served as primary sources of information during their respective times. The front-page headlines from various editions report significant events, including the Braznell, Pennsylvania, Mine Explosion and the loss of all men on boats off the North Carolina coast.
