Daily Observer Digital Archive
An Open Access collection sponsored by the Center for Research Libraries
The Daily Observer or Liberian Observer is an independent national newspaper founded in 1981 by Kenneth Y. Best, a renowned Liberian journalist, and his wife, Mae Gene Traub Best. For more than 40 years, the Daily Observer has chronicled all facets of life, culture, and political development in the key West African state of Liberia. Due to its independent editorial stance, the Daily Observer has been recognized for its coverage of public life.
This archive makes the complete digital archive of the Daily Observer available in Open Access for the first time, serving to document a dynamic phase in the modern history of Liberia, from the late twentieth century, through a civil war, and through its current phase of development.
Open Access to this collection is made possible through the generous support of the Center for Research Libraries and its member institutions.
