Historical news reports and breaking news bulletins published by the
Washington bureau of The Associated Press from 1915 to 1930, documenting a
full chronology of world and national events, have been digitized and are
now available online from the Library of Congress. The collection includes
news dispatches from key moments in history, from the sinking of the
Lusitania ocean liner in 1915, drawing the U.S. into World War I, through
the roaring 1920s to the stock market crash of 1929 and the outbreak of
the Great Depression. The AP collection includes 375 volumes of wire copy,
totaling more than 387,000 images.

The Associated Press was formed in 1846 by five newspapers in
New York City. Other regional AP associations soon followed, as did
individual bureaus in major American cities, as the telegraph and the
railroad began linking the country together in the 1860s. Eventually,
these later merged into one national news cooperative, headquartered in
New York
