About the Montana State University Exponent Newspaper Collection

The Montana State University Exponent Newspaper Collection

What is it?

The Montana State University (MSU) Exponent Newspaper Collection has full-text, PDF format retrieval of MSU Exponent editions from 1895 through the present.

The database is a joint development effort between the MSU Exponent and Montana State University Library Digital Initiatives.

The MSU Exponent is Montana State University's student-run newspaper, bringing together more than 70 students of diverse background and approaches in service of the public interest.  The newspaper strives to contribute to the university's community by providing thorough, original reporting and creating space for public discourse about topics of importance to students.  As of January 2015, the paper is funded by a $4.86 annual student fee and advertising revenue.  It is published on Thursdays during the academic year and is available online at msuexponent.com.

Since its founding in 1895, the Exponent has been known under the following titles:

• 1895-1901: College exponent
• 1901-1910: The exponent
• 1910-1931: Weekly exponent
• 1931-1960: Montana exponent
• 1960-1965: Exponent of Montana State College
• 1965-1976: Exponent of Montana State University
• 1976-1981: MSU exponent
• 1981-1987: The Exponent
• 1987-2012: ASMSU exponent
• 2012-Present: MSU Exponent

This online digital collection will be expanded with each subsequent semester of Exponent.  The long-term planning goal of the Exponent staff is to digitize and include all historical editions of the paper from 1895 forward that are currently stored in the Montana State University Library Archives.  This collection is an ongoing collaborative project between the MSU Exponent and the MSU Library to provide online archival access to the Exponent.
