The Library of Congress has launched a significant upgrade to its Chronicling America website<https://www.loc.gov/collections/chronicling-america/>, the nation's leading free resource for historical U.S. newspapers. The updated platform now integrates fully with the Library's broader loc.gov digital collections, offering enhanced accessibility, modern design and powerful research tools across all devices.

The redesigned interface introduces numerous user-focused improvements, including a fully responsive design that ensures seamless use on computers, tablets and smartphones; enhanced image viewing for improved readability; and intuitive browsing options with refined filters. An upgraded advanced search tool provides greater precision, and a new interactive map<https://www.loc.gov/collections/chronicling-america/?dl=title&st=map&zoom=1.76%2C-389%2C-87.4> allows users to explore digitized newspaper titles geographically.

All newly digitized newspapers will now appear exclusively on the upgraded site. Content uploads to the previous site have been discontinued, and existing URLs now automatically redirect to the updated platform. Users can explore the new features with the help of the Library's Research Guide on using Chronicling America<https://guides.loc.gov/chronicling-america/introduction?preview=e6a98c2768ba3f2128afc8b13c2f0374>.
