New New Caledonia College student newspaper archives, 1969-current, from Prince George, British Columbia in Canada.
NewspaperArchive.com
Even with all the free resources available, I still find newspaperarchive.com to be the most valuable resource available for researching history. I've been a subscriber for years. Take a look: NewspaperArchive.com
Minnesota Daily
University of Minnestoa college newspaper. Full images available, but no text searching. 1900-1999
Wisconsin literary magazine
A student publication from the University of Wisconsin. Oddly, individual issues can be searched, but not the collection as a whole. Covers 1906-1928.
University of Georgia Red and Black student Newspaper archives, 1893-1979. (special viewer needed to see page images). Also from U. Georgia, a few issues of the satirical student newspaper, The Bumble Bee, from 1889-1902
University of British Columbia (Canada) Ubyssey Student newspaper, 1916-current
The Collegiate Chronicle at the University of Illinois is an interesting resource that contains archives for a number of college newspapers including: American University Eagle (1925-1996), Franklin and Marshall College Reporter (1964-1987), Georgetown Hoya (1959-1980), Lincoln University Lincolnian and Lincoln News (1925-2003), Gettysburg College Gettysburgian (1897-2004), University of Illinois Daily Illini (1916-1945), and others.
Yale Daily News 1878-? Searchable, but poorly described, and an unfriendly interface. Only a few years seems to have been digitized thus far. C'mon Yale...you can do better!
Montclairion -- Montclair State College, NJ student newspaper 1962-2001
The Griffin, Canisius College (Jesuit College in Buffalo, NY). Archives appear to run from 1933 to the 1950's.
East Los Angeles College Campus News (1945-1999)
Student Newspapers of the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University (Minnesota), 1888-current. The papers went by several names, including The Record, The Torch, Vitae, and The Saints. Note, the site includes a link to Spoof/Parody issues...would be nice to see more archives do this.
Adelphi University, 1921-2003, Long Island, NY. Assorted school newspaper archives, text searchable.
Marist College, 1961-2000, Poughkeepsie, NY. Assorted school newspapers, browseable by date.
CalTech, in Pasadena, California, doesn't quite have their student newspapers archived yet (though they say they're working on it), but this 2007 CalTech spoof issue of MIT is definitely worth a look
The Chronicle, Durham College, Oshawa, Ontario, 1973-current, search or browse.
SUNY Stony Brook, Long Island, NY. Assorted campus newspapers and publications. My alma mater, and I'd like to be proud, but this collection isn't well-described or presented
The Southern, from Florida Southern College in Lakeland. Seems to be 1930s era. Full-text search is offered, but didn't work when I tried it.
New The Daily Titan, California State University, Fullerton, 1960-current. Browseable PDFs, but no search capability.
New The Tech, 1881-current. From the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a full text searchable collection.
New Grand Valley State University in Michigan has assorted school publications online, including The Lanthorn and other student newspapers (1963-current) and Grand Valley Magazine.
New Florida's Stetson University student newspapers, 1887-current..
From Kent Gerber, a list he put together of newspaper archives using the Contentdm platform (not my favorite, but what the hey!). Mostly college student papers from all over, and easier to link to Kent than add all the links here!
One of the best archives available is the aptly-named NewspaperArchive.com. This is a subscription service, but well worth it. I use them constantly in my research, and recommend them highly. You'll find plenty of old college antics in their deep databases.
