How-to: Clip, Save, and Print Quality Images from Chronicling America

Many thanks to a patron who requested this how-to, as the ability to clip, save, and print quality images from Chronicling America can be a challenge! We have a few tried-and-true techniques  (and free!) to help you out.

Chronicling America offers a few different ways to easily clip, save, and print images, with varying quality of the images.

We’ve also  included a few alternative methods that have worked for the project. (Note: we are not promoting any of these resources; while we’ve had successes with these alternative methods and online tools, we understand they may not work well for everyone!)

1. Saving/Sorting Images:

  • Share/Save Button: Chronicling America has a share/save button on the top of each page that allows you to copy and paste the newspaper page’s link, save to your favorites folder, email, share with social media, or download the image to an RSS feed, as a jp2, or pdf.
