==Background==
The digitized newspapers represent newspapers published in Finland from 1771-1910. Available digitized newspapers can be searched by date. Articles will be in Finnish or Swedish depending on the time period.<br>
The history of newspapers in Finland dates back to the late 18th century, with the publication of the first newspaper in Swedish in 1771. The early years of Finnish newspapers were characterized by limited circulation and government censorship. However, as the 19th century progressed, newspapers began to play a more prominent role in Finnish society, serving as a platform for political debate and national identity formation. The rise of the Finnish language press in the late 19th century was particularly significant, as it helped to solidify Finnish cultural identity and challenge the dominance of Swedish.


The early 20th century witnessed a period of rapid growth in the Finnish newspaper industry, with the establishment of numerous new publications and a significant increase in circulation. Newspapers played a crucial role in the Finnish independence movement, providing a forum for nationalist voices and mobilizing public opinion against Russian rule. In the post-war era, Finnish newspapers continued to thrive, adapting to technological advancements and evolving consumer preferences. Today, the Finnish newspaper industry faces challenges from digital media, but it remains an important source of news and information for many Finns.<ref>"From Political to National, Regional and Local," DiVA portal, https://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1534629/FULLTEXT01.pdf, accessed 25 September 2024.</ref><ref>"Newspapers Published by a Society in Turku,"  Library of Congress, https://www.loc.gov/item/2020741476/, accessed 25 September 2024. </ref><ref>"Digital Collections," The National Library of Finland, https://digi.kansalliskirjasto.fi/etusivu?set_language=en, accessed 25 September 2024.</ref><ref>"Finnish Information News," Library of Congress, https://www.loc.gov/item/2020741467/, accessed 25 September 2024.</ref>
