International Herald Tribune Historical Archive (1887-2013) offers a complete run of one of the world’s most innovative newspapers, known for its objective international coverage. Originating as the European Edition of The New York Herald in 1887, it evolved into the International Herald Tribune before its 2013 relaunch as the International New York Times.

Founded by James Gordon Bennett Jr. for American expatriates and travelers in Europe, the paper—often called The Paris Herald—reported on international and American news, travel, and society. During World War I, it defied challenges like censorship and publication limits to serve American and French readers.

The archive captures pivotal moments, from the paper’s struggles during the Great Depression and World War II to its transformation into a global news enterprise in the 1960s. With its unique perspective and independent editorial spirit, the archive is an essential resource for exploring international history and journalism.
