Q&A: Where can I find or buy a copy of an old New York newspaper in 1880s?

Question by ga-ne-lu-gi-a: Where can I find or buy a copy of an old New York newspaper in 1880s?
I am doing a term paper over Jack the Ripper and i think it would be nice if I had a copy or photocopy of a news paper with an article about him in it. I think it might make the paper great or at least get a good grade or point for a newspaper clipping!!

I need to use as many references that I can: newspaper, books, internet, magazines, interviews, movies, etc. The more I use would be great. It has to be MLA format so if there are any english buffs out there I could use the help getting ideas where to start to.

your school library should have photography indexes of newspapeper. My school have them. Find out if yours does, you’ll never know if you don’t.
