WKU Libraries is proud to announce the addition of the Washington Post Historical edition to our electronic collection. Provided by ProQuest, this database provides full-text access to the entire run of the Washington Post from 1877 to 1996. WKU already offers the full text of the Washington Post from 1997 to the present as part of the ProQuest Newstand database.

Known for its comprehensive political reporting, first-rate photo essays, Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial writing, and in-depth investigative reporting, the Washington Post is a vital resource for today’s budding journalists, political historians, and students of government.

Links to these and all of other our other research databases may be found in the Databases list on the Library web page. These databases are available both on and off campus — off-campus access requires a valid WKU NetID and password. If you need assistance please stop at the Reference Desk in the Commons at Cravens, call for assistance at (270) 745-6125, or email us at web.reference@wku.edu.
