Digital Microfilm

The ProQuest Digital Microfilm™ solution remotely hosts selected local and national microfilmed newspapers for simultaneous online viewing and retrieval. Featuring the microfilm editions of titles such as The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post, users can view these and many other local and national titles online and in their original full-image in the library or at any Wi-Fi hotspot. A completely web-based solution, all content in ProQuest Digital Microfilm is accessed much like other remote access resources.

No Microform Equipment Required
The discoverability and usage of the microfilmed newspapers you subscribe to in ProQuest Digital Microfilm will greatly increase. Why?

A Straightforward User Experience
The ProQuest Digital Microfilm online user interface makes microfilmed newspaper content easily accessible so that both the novice and expert researchers can locate their desired content quickly.
