The Brooklyn Public Library's searchable electronic text database of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
"The Brooklyn Daily Eagle was published from 1841 to 1955 and was revived for a short time from 1960 to 1963. Because of the enormity of the collection, the digitization of the historic Brooklyn Daily Eagle from reels of microfilm is broken into more than one phase. Phase I, which can presently be found on this site, concerns the period from 1841-1902, representing half of the Eagle's years of publication. This period includes all of the years for which there is no index as well as the eleven years during which an index was published. Access can be gained either by date of issue or by keyword searching."

I worked for the Brooklyn Eagle while in high school and shortly thereafter when Bob Farrell tried twice to revive that legendary paper. It didn't last long, but I, and several of the other young journalists who started there went on to greater heights. I am now 63 and sort of retired after a long stint at newspaper, magazine, radio and television journalism as a reporter, photographer and assignment editor. I have not been back to Brooklyn in over 30 years. But the Eagle is one of the good things I look back at from the olde days.

I worked as a photographer for the Brooklyn Eagle as a youth from 1960 - 1963 until Philip Anceacle (Not sure of the spelling) died. I had many front pages and sports as well as daily news shots. This was a first class try at revival of a major NY newspaper!. It is sadly missed. I wish those issues (1960-1963) could be accessed on line. Great coverage of a great City, Brooklyn.
