The BG News has served as the voice of the students at Bowling Green State University since 1920. The student-published newspaper contains a wealth of information and news relating to contemporary trends, campus events and the impact and impressions of national events within the context of student life. Spanning the history of BGSU, this collection includes every cover and every page of every newspaper in chronological order from 1920 to present. Each newspaper in this digital collection may be downloaded as an Adobe PDF file, and may be searched individually by year and by date. Use the BG News Index to search all issues of the BG News.

The digitized collection of the yearbooks and student newspapers were selected as the digitization project after the death of David C. Miller ’69, who was a member of the Libraries’ Advocates Board and the editor of the local newspaper. Because he and his wife, Judith Witmer Miller ’70 had each served as editor of the yearbook in 1969 and 1970, respectively, the digitization of The Key and BG News had special meaning to Miller and his colleagues on the Advocates Board.
