FOR SUMMER
The Library now offers access to the full-text of the Historical New York Times, from its first edition in 1851, when the debate over slavery would lead this country to civil war, until the year 2004, when a black Senator from Illinois gave the keynote speech at the Demorcratic presidential convention - for over 150 years, the New York Times has been America's newspaper.

Articles are key-word searchable and scanned in .pdf format to appear as they did in print. Use the "page map" feature to determine where the individual article appeared columnwise in the paper. Articles can be saved, printed, or emailed. To sample the rich history available in this great new resource, use the following ProQuest search box:

^{The Lamp of Knowledge and Wisdom
In both Christian as well as secular literature the concepts of knowledge, truth and wisdom have long been associated with light. These ideas are embodied in the Library's logo represented by a Greek oil lamp with an eternal flame. Like the lamp and its flame, the modern library illuminates the darkness of ignorance and provides the tools necessary to succeed in the pursuit of knowledge, truth and wisdom through lifelong learning}
