What is a NYTimes Academic Pass?

A NYTimes.com Academic Pass allows LVC faculty, students, and staff full access to the NYT website and most of its digital content.

What is included in the NYTimes Academic Pass?

  • Full access to NYTimes.com  
  • TimesMachine.  Searchable, browsable page scans of every issue of The New York Times published between 1851 and 2002
  • Access to New York Times archives, dating back to 1851.  Each day of their pass, users may access up to five complimentary articles (limit 100 per month) published between the years 1923 through 1980.  Search capabilities are, however, rather clunky.  You're better off accessing  The New York Times 1980-present content from The New York Times | Current tab or here.  For access to The New York Times from 1851 to three years prior from today's date, use the The New York Times | Historical tab or go here.
  • Podcasts, including the "Daily" podcast
  • NYT Videos
  • Newsletters 
  • Unlimited access to two great learning tools: The New York Times inEducation website and The Learning Network. 

What is not included?

Passes do not include e-reader editions, Times Premier content or digital versions of The New York Times Crossword. NYTimes apps are not supported on all devices. All NYTimes.com Pass users have unlimited access to the New York Times archived articles outside the 1923–1980 date range. Each day of their pass, users may access up to five complimentary articles (limit 100 per month) published between the years 1923 through 1980. NYTimes apps are not supported on all devices. Passes do not include e-reader editions, Times Premier content or New York Times Games, New York Times Cooking or The Athletic.
