After the Indianapolis News ceased publication, the Indianapolis Star has become the only major daily paper in Indianapolis, Indiana. This morning newspaper began publishing in 1903 and has won the Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting twice, in 1975 and in 1991. The broadsheet newspaper has an average daily circulation of around 93,612 and reports on a number of different topics, including national and world news, sports, and community content.

insights from our archivist

These aren’t replicas. They’re the actual newspapers that sat on newsstands up to 125 years ago. The one you buy could be the last copy in existence.

Prices can vary for several reasons, like popularity of a specific day, whether the paper is local or national, the paper’s age, and the number of copies left.

Missing papers give us a window into history. If a paper isn’t available for the date you’re after, it could be because that newspaper was on strike during the period.

FLYING OFF THE NEWSSTANDS

Bestsellers leave public ‘clamouring for copies’, reports suggest.
