There is an excellent website that gives you access to historical newspapers for original source document research. I found it while working with my teenage son on his Global History assignment on the Fall of Warsaw in WW II.
The site is called "ProQuest" and is attached below. You can request a 30 day free trial of the site and decide if it is a resource you'd like for your students. Make sure to indicate your school in the contact information. Individual people can not use the free trial, but teachers at schools can.
Be sure to let me have your thoughts on the site when you comment below.

Here is a link to my portaportal account. Enter "newsomlang" in the guest access box. Look at the categories called "A is for America". These are active websites that contain original source documents on the American Revolution.
