Q. Does the library have issues of the Diamondback going back to 1994? Are they searchable online?

Hello,
 

The UMD Student Newspaper Database contains issues of the Diamondback and its predecessors from January 1, 1910 - December 15, 2014. From issues from 2014- present, visit http://www.dbknews.com/.

University Archives also preserves the websites of The Diamondback:

• Diamondback Online, 2011-2016
• Diamondback News, 2016-present

The Diamondback began publication on January 1, 1910, under the name The Triangle. The title of the paper went through a series of changes until it finally became The Diamondback on June 9, 1921:

Triangle, January 1, 1910 – October 14, 1914

M.A.C. Weekly, October 21, 1914 – May 31, 1916

Maryland State Weekly, September 1916 – January 30, 1919 (variant titles M. S. Weekly and M. S. C. Weekly during this time)

Maryland State Review, February 6, 1919 – June 10, 1920

University Review, October 7, 1920 – May 1921

The Diamondback, June 9, 1921 – present

Publication frequency has varied over the years. Initially, the paper appeared biweekly, before moving to a weekly and then daily format on weekdays during the academic year. In March 2020, The Diamondback ceased publication of a print edition. Current issues of The Diamondback can be found online at DBKnews.com.
