The latest addition to the website is the Carleton Sentinel newspaper, from March 6, 1948 to March 18, 1943. It was published in Woodstock. Like all of the newspapers on this website, the Carleton Sentinel, is fully searchable. You can also browse the Carleton Sentinel.

In a FullText Search, you can easily narrow down results by date, publication, and location.
If you don’t know the name of the newspaper where you family lived, no problem. The map will help you narrow down the places of publication.
The goal of the New Brunswick Historical Newspapers Project is to centralize all known newspapers published in the province, from the earliest publication of the Royal St. John’s Gazette and Nova Scotia Intelligencer in 1783 to present day. The project is a collaboration between the Council of Archives New Brunswick, the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick, and UNB Libraries, with the support of many libraries and archives across the province.
They are continually adding new issues and titles to the site. Users are encouraged to check back often.
