19th Century Ashmun Institute and Lincoln University Newspaper Clippings Now Online
Thanks to the Chester County Historical Society, which has a clipping file of old newspaper articles about Lincoln University; to community resident Hersey Grey, a long-time collector of local history who provided us with the digital files; and to the HBCU Library Alliance's Digital Collection Celebrating the Founding of the Black College and University, which has provided a venue on its CONTENTdm server for Lincoln University to host digital files, we have been able to share some old newspaper clippings, going back to 1853, when the Presbytery of New Castle organized the Ashmun Institute.
These clippings are from the American Republican, the Daily Local News, the Jeffersonian, the Oxford Press, and the Village Recorder, and span the years 1853-1874. They are posted on the website as a compound object, under the title, "1853-1874 Newspaper Clippings of Ashmun Institute and Lincoln University (PA)," appearing second in the list, which is arranged chronologically.
