Are you looking for articles about the coverage of the Stamp Act in
colonial newspapers, or online versions of the 1765 papers themselves,
with articles about the Stamp Act?
If the latter, here's a readable image of the Nov. 7, 1765 issue of
the Pennsylvania Gazette, headlined "No Stamped Paper To Be Had",
wherein the publishers announced the suspension of the Gazette in
opposition to the provisions of the Stamp Act:

Other similar sources are available from the same site. Are you also
interested in online texts of original sources other than newspapers?
For example, you can find a copy of William Pitt's speech on the Stamp Act here:

Hope this helps... I'd do some more digging, but not being one of the
officially annointed "Researchers", all my efforts seem to do is help
them get a head start on officially "Answering" the question, and
getting paid. I'd like to see Google implement the possibility of
giving tips to mere "commenters" too! :o) |
