The U.S. Library of Congress is commemorating America's 250th birthday by spotlighting the pivotal role of newspapers during the American Revolution. Through its "Chronicling America: Headlines & Heroes" blog, the Library offers insights into topics such as newspaper printers, America's story in headlines, and the women who published during the nation's founding.
Further resources include a StoryMap, "The Declaration of Independence: From Draft to Print," featuring videos, a timeline, and a map of digitized newspaper issues. A research guide, "American Revolution: Topics in Chronicling America," provides a timeline of major events from 1754-1787.
