Meet Mark E. Mitchell, President of The Mitchell Archives, a firm specializing in the sale and preservation of original historic newspapers spanning four centuries. Its archives contains 20,000 extremely rare and one-of-a-kind issues.

Historic newspapers, both past and present, are a mirror of our civilization's rich history. They maintain an invaluable record of the people and events that shaped our nation and the world. The key battles of the American Revolution and the Civil War, fierce pirates like Blackbeard, the travels of Lewis and Clark, speeches of Henry Clay and Frederick Douglass, gunfights of the Wild West and even the sinking of the Titanic are all captured in the pages of American and European newspapers.
