Q. How do I find historical newspaper articles?

NOVA Libraries offers two historical newspaper collections. 

ProQuest Historical Newspapers: The New York Times with Index (1851-2014)

ProQuest Historical Newspapers: The Washington Post (1877-2001)

Each collection can be searched using keywords just like you would do in any other database. You can search for articles on a specific topic, about a specific person, from a certain year, etc.
