CRL databases for materials not individually listed in the CRL or Orbis online catalog: These databases provide additional means of access that are not available in CRLCATALOG. For example, the CCC Camp newspapers allows you to search by the name of the camp, title of the camp newspaper or camp location (273 matches for Oregon, 204 for Washington). The Foreign newspaper database allows you to search by language or country of publication or give a range of dates that you'd like to find what newspapers are available.
