Q. How can I access the Washington Post?

How can I access the Washington Post?

You can access the Washington Post through MUSCAT Plus or the A-Z Database page. Our subscription to the Washington Post provides users with access to the daily Washington Post from the past 15 years to present.

Do I need to create an account?

While on campus, or accessing remotely through the library websites, no account creation is required. However, if you wish to use some of the more personalized features such as newsletters and saving stories for later, you can create an account with your gettysburg.edu email address. Creating an account will also let you use the Washington Post's mobile app.
