France Newspapers & Periodicals
46,750,996 pages in 7,982 newspaper titles
This collection is a compendium of periodicals, primarily newspapers, published in various cities and towns of France from 1644 until 2000. Some additional titles from French territories and colonies are also included. The record images for these publications can be viewed on <a href="https://gallica.bnf.fr/accueil/en/content/accueil-en/" target="blank">Gallica, the digital library of the Bibliothèque nationale de France</a>.<br><br>Newspapers are an important resource for genealogy and family history research as they contain obituaries and other vital record substitutes such as birth, marriage, and death notices. Family members may also be mentioned in articles reporting on local news, events, and social activities. Many articles found here provide details on historical events that are unlikely to exist in any other record.
