Background
The Hoover Institution's collecting history regarding newspapers spans over 80 years. Newspapers became an integral core component
of the "Hoover War Collection" soon after it was established in 1919 as a repository of materials on World War I and the states
and societies involved in it. The subsequent widening of focus to cover the themes of "War, Revolution, and Peace" caused
the collection to grow further in scope and volume into a variety of directions.
