The amount of material available online for civil rights research projects has grown incredibly over the past few years as more and more information is put on the internet.
Those seeking newspaper articles from the era can now find them accessible, often at no charge, by looking through the Google News archives.
You can start by typing in a search term such as "Birmingham Church Bombing" on Google. When your results come through, click on news (links for news can be found on the top and left hand sides of the page).
After the news results arrive, click on "archives" on the left side of the page. When you get your results, if you are not wanting to pay (or cannot afford to pay) for articles, hit the "free only" link on the left hand side of the page.
Most often, you will find PDFs of the newspaper pages with the information you are wanting, in this example, the Birmingham Church Bombing, highlighted.
