Buffalo Courier-Express Newspaper, 1977-1982, Now Available Online

The Buffalo State Archives and Special Collections is thrilled to announce that full-text editions of the Buffalo Courier-Express newspaper from 1977 to 1982 are now freely available online through our collaboration with New York State Historic Newspapers. This grant-funded preservation and access project was initiated in 2019 by Special Collections archivist Hope Dunbar and is the first step in a multiyear effort to make all editions of the Courier-Express newspaper openly available to the public.

Buffalo State is in a unique position to work toward open access of this incredible resource, according to Ms. Dunbar. Any student, faculty, or community member has been welcome to come to campus and access the microfilm, photographs, or article clippings from the paper. Completion of this project will allow global and immediate access to over 1.5 million pages of historical content unique to Western New York.

Heavily used by students, faculty, staff, authors, and publishers, this now remotely accessible resource will provide an easily available scholarly and entertaining asset for patrons around the world.

Please see the Archives and Special Collections’ Buffalo Courier-Express website for similar resources.
