Historic newspapers by state, free to read

The Library of Congress has digitised millions of pages of American newspapers from the 1690s to 1963 — obituaries, marriage notices, local news — and they are free. Each page below shows what exists for one state: how many pages, which titles and years, which counties, which decades, which languages. Then search them by name, free.

Figures are the Library of Congress's own counts for its Chronicling America collection, fetched from loc.gov and refreshed daily; newspaper pages are public domain and the metadata is CC0. Provara states nothing here about any person.
