Library of Congress Newspaper Resource List - LOC does a great job getting the list together of wonderful newspaper archives.
NewspaperArchive.com - (commercial) - Known for a large collection. I haven't used it, so I can't confirm this.
xooxleanswers.com - Great list of newspaper archives from Xooxle. Good list and a funky name. Two thumbs up.
University of Penn Newspaper Archive - List of US newspaper archives and dates. Looked like a deeper list of Texas newspapers, so this effort my be a deep comprehensive list.
