Newspaper Archive

I am seriously considering reinstating my premium Newspaper Archive account. If you aren't familiar with what it is...NewspaperArchive is a website that "contains tens of millions of newspaper pages from 1759 to present. Every newspaper in the archive is fully searchable by keyword and date, making it easy for you to quickly explore historical content."

A few years back I was a premium member, which meant I wasn't restricted on the number of newspapers I could view during the day. For a writer and researcher it contains some great stuff..and for the family historian, it can bring all sorts of surprises. This morning I read mom a little clip from a Charlo Montana newspaper, circa 1940 - where her name was included.

Very cool stuff.
