New York Times (NYT)

Using the FIT Library's New York Times Historical database   (1851-2018 , FIT user name and password required) has these and other advantages over using the nytimes.com website.

• Ability to search by title or words in an article but also letting you find articles that are tagged with certain subject headings.
• Includes an obituary search which includes both paid "death notices" and authored obituary articles; nytimes.com  just suggests an awkward workaround
• Other specially tagged search types include by dateline, section of the paper, and many  formats e.g.  Front page article and "real estate transaction"
• You can easily search for a specific date or range of dates or narrow down result you get
  
  TIP 1: You can browse pages--including ads-- but it's a little tricky.
  After you're logged into the database, find any article for the date you need, then click on the "page view" option that appears just above the article/pdf so you can scroll through other pages in that issue in pdf format.
  TIP 2: New York Times Historical is produced by ProQuest, the same company that created the Wall Street Journal database, WWD Archive,  Harper's Bazaar Archive & the Vogue Archive, so you can search any or all of them at the same time.

More recent New York Times articles can be found using Gale Onefile: News and Newspaper Source Plus (EBSCO) 

Gale Onefile: News:
You can use the database to browse a whole issue for a specific date, but for the years after 2010, all you can get is the articles, not scans of the page itself.

BONUS TIP:: You can also search 2000+ other global English language newspapers at the same time using this database. Some of the papers covered are New York Post (2000- February 2020), Washington Post , and The Observer (London)
