FAQs
Are back issues available?
Archive access is available from 1851 to present day. For pre-1923 and post-1980 time periods, access is unlimited. However, articles from 1923-1980 can only be accessed remotely, with a limit of five articles per user per day.
Will the library share my personal information with The New York Times?
Absolutely not. The Washoe County Library will never provide any of your personal information to The New York Times. To ensure an increased level of privacy, we recommend you use email registration/login (rather than the Facebook or Google methods). You can read The New York Times privacy policy here.
Will I get a lot of emails if I create a New York Times account?
When you register, you will be by default signed up for the Morning Briefing newsletter, a roundup of the day’s top stories. If you don’t want to receive these emails, be sure to uncheck the box labeled “You agree to receive updates and offers from The Times” when you create your account. If would like to stop receiving emails after registering, go to the settings page (while logged in) to unsubscribe. You can subscribe to additional newsletters (if, for instance, there’s a particular topic or columnist you would like to follow) on the newsletters page.
