Any study of Baltimore should begin with the present and a review of the published record, principally the news media, as represented in newspapers, journals, and today’s vast and varied electronic media. To assist in sorting out what is and is not available on line, the Pratt Library, the on-line services of the Maryland State Archives, the Baltimore County Public Library, and the reference divisions of area university and college libraries are places to begin. When in need or in doubt, ask a librarian or an archivist.
Some of the most important sources that are on line in whole or in part include:
Newspapers/Journals:

Baltimore Afro-American Newspaper: 1893 - 1988 (Login required - click here) Founded by former slave John Henry Murphy Sr. when he merged three church publications, The Baltimore Afro-American became one of the most widely circulated African-American newspapers on the Atlantic Coast. In addition to featuring the first black female reporter (Murphy’s daughter) and female sportswriters, the paper’s contributors have included writer Langston Hughes, intellectual J. Saunders Redding, artist Romare Bearden, and sports editor Sam Lacy, whose column influenced the desegregation of professional sports.
Baltimore Sun: 1837 - 1985 (Login required - click here) Founded by Arunah Shepherdson Abell as a paper devoted to the news that most directly affected the lives of its readers, The Baltimore Sun’s history is among the most distinguished in American journalism. It represented this bustling port city by reporting on pivotal issues and events of the 19th and early 20th centuries: immigration, the slave trade, commerce, the Civil War, Washington D.C. politics (The Baltimore Sun began publishing 40 years before the Washington Post), Americana, and literature. H.L. Mencken, the “Sage of Baltimore,” and one of the most influential American writers of the early 20th century, wrote for this renowned newspaper.
