Description:

In 1895 William Randolph Hearst bought the New York Morning Journal and Advertiser which had been founded in 1882 by Albert Pulitzer. The Morning Journal changed its name to the New York American in 1902. Daily publication of the American was discontinued, and it merged with the Evening Journal (founded by Hearst in 1896) on June 24, 1937 to become the New York Journal-American. The newspaper ceased publication in 1966. Its entire morgue was subsequently acquired by the University of Texas at Austin.

The morgue contains approximately two million photographs, half of which are estimated as coming from news services. There are also approximately one million negatives from Hearst staff photographers in the collection.

Please request materials through the New York Journal-American database that contains listings for the more than 65,000 folders in the collection.
