About The Tower Archive Online

The Tower has served as the student newspaper at The Catholic University of America since the Fall of 1922. In an effort to preserve the newspaper, and to make it easily accessible to researchers, alumni, and the general public, the microfilm versions of the newspaper have been digitized and put online.

The Tower Archive Online is available to anyone, from anywhere, and is keyword searchable. You can browse the newspapers by date or search by keyword across articles, advertisements and photo captions. You can print, download, or e-mail individual articles. And it's free!

Dates Available

October 27, 1922 through April 26, 2013
