Fully integrated with the most comprehensive aggregated news resource in the world Valuable for students and faculty in nearly every academic discipline

Overview As the city’s oldest newspaper, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer is an unmatched resource for studying the people, issues and events that shaped the Emerald City and beyond. From business and economics to culture and politics, the pages of the Post-Intelligencer chronicle Seattle’s growth, from its early days as a scrappy logging town to its rise as a global technological and manufacturing hub. Combining this robust historical archive as part of the most comprehensive aggregated news resource in the world creates a seamless continuum of coverage from 1901 to today, and offers teaching and research opportunities for students and faculty in nearly every academic discipline.

In-depth coverage of Seattle’s dramatic growthAt the turn of the century, three newspapers were competing for Seattleites’ attention. The Post-Intelligencer was the voice of the conservative upper class, while the Seattle Times (also available from NewsBank) was splashier and more liberal. Together, the opposing views captured by these two venerable papers offer a well-rounded glimpse into nearly every aspect of Seattle’s history. Coverage includes the region’s role in the Klondike Gold Rush, the timber and ship-building industries, the early years of Boeing Aircraft, the impact of Microsoft’s arrival, the growth of the environmental movement, and much more.

Local coverage of 20th century history In addition to robust reporting on local and state news, the archives of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer offer uniquely Washingtonian perspectives on the news that defined the 20th century. Researchers will find dispatches from World Wars I and II, firsthand reporting on the impact of the Great Depression, local responses to the Vietnam and Cold wars, the Women’s Rights and Civil Rights movements, and more. With the paper’s acquisition by William Randolf Hearst in 1921, the Post-Intelligencer became decidedly more liberal in its outlook, while also gaining editorial significance on the national stage.

A continuum of coverage streamlines researchThe historical archive of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer is fully integrated with the paper’s most recent content, in all available formats, as well as thousands of other up-to-date information sources. These diverse publications, many of which are unavailable elsewhere, offer extensive local, regional, national and international coverage, providing valuable perspectives from around the world.
