Douglass News Inventory

Frederick Douglass, one of the true giants of nineteenth century American history, spent 25 years of his life (1847-1872) here in Rochester, New York. This was his base as he published The North Star, Frederick Douglass' Paper, and Douglass' Monthly. The Lavery Library is very fortunate to have original copies of 147 of these enormously influential newspapers. The following descriptive tool is a chronological record of all our Douglass newspaper holdings.
