The M.E. Grenander Department of Special Collections and Archives is pleased to announce the online availability of the University at Albany’s student newspaper from 1916-1985. You can browse each issue from the State College News, 1916-- 1963, State University News 1963--1964, and the Albany Student Press (ASP), 1964—1985. The ASP from 1986 - 2009 and The Echo, from 1892 – 1916 are available in hard copy at the Special Collections' Marcia Brown Reading Room. Issues are available at: http://library.albany.edu/speccoll/findaids/studentnewspapers.htm

Support for this digital project came from the Friends of the Libraries and would not have been possible without their assistance. The M.E. Grenander Department of Special Collections and Library Systems are working to develop a full text database of the newspaper that will allow searching across multiple issues, years, or decades. In addition, the Department of Special Collections will develop a plan to digitize The Echo, 1892 – 1916 and the ASP from 1986 – 2009.
