What is a database?  A database is a searchable collection of information from magazines, newspapers, and other resources that are available to you via the library's website at any time and from any place with Internet access.  The databases below are accessible at most BCPL computers and, unless otherwise noted, are accessible via your home computer. You simply have to have a valid library card registered at the Baltimore County Public Library to use them.  You can apply for a BCPL card online if you don't have one and want to use these resources.

An Important Notice:

In early December, we will be upgrading to a new computer system. The upgrade will take several days.  Tentatively, from December 4 through December, 9 our catalog and circulation system will be offline.  We apologize for the inconvenience.  We are working to make the transition as smooth as possible for you. 

Featured Database:  The Afro-American Newspaper (1893-1988) offers full page and article images with searchable full text. The collection includes digital reproductions providing access to every page from every available issue.  This paper was the most widely circulated black newspaper on the Atlantic coast. It was the first black newspaper to have correspondents reporting on World War II, foreign correspondents, and female sports correspondents.
