The longstanding Chronicling America Website, a searchable and freely accessible digital collection of historic newspaper pages has been transitioned by the Library of Congress to a new digital environment alongside other Library of Congress digital collections including an updated interface and back-end search infrastructure.

In the future (date yet to be announced) existing URLs to Chronicling America pages will redirect to the new environment.
