The
Frankford News Gleaner was a community newspaper founded in 1882 by George W. Henry to serve the neighborhood of Frankford in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The
News Gleaner grew to serve greater Northeast Philadelphia and later became known as the
Northeast News Gleaner. The paper was owned and operated by the Henry family until it was sold to the Journal Register Company in 2002. At the end of 2008, the paper ceased operations. The
Northeast News Gleaner records, circa 1970s-2007, consist primarily of photographs used for publication in the
Northeast News Gleaner. It also includes negatives; financial records, circa 1970s-2000s; and about 75 whole issues of the
News Gleaner, circa 1970s-1980s. There is also a small portion of materials, circa 1990s-2000s, from
Nicetown Life, a small local publication serving the Nicetown neighborhood of North Philadelphia.
