101 Best Web Sites: Online Newspapers
Posted by Diane
This week's installment of 101 Best Web Sites delivers two resources for paging through historical newspapers: - Colorado Historic Newspaper Collection
Click on the county map to see what's available and where to find it in
this collection of nearly 450,000 digitized pages from 136 Colorado
newspapers, published from 1859 to 1933. Coverage spans 71 cities and
41 Centennial State counties. You'll need Internet Explorer to get the
most out of this site.
- Newspaper Abstracts
Find your ancestors in the news—without getting ink on your fingers. At
last count this volunteer project included nearly 52,000 pages of
abstracts and extracts from historical newspapers, with an emphasis on
items of interest to genealogists such as obituaries.
See the rest of the best sites in the Research Toolkit area of our Web site.
