At our August meeting, we watched a webinar on using newspapers. After the video, we talked about the links we use the most today. I also looked up the current links for some of the resources mentioned in the video:
- Chronicling America, the Library of Congress site that is attempting to list all the newspapers published in the US, and has an extensive and growing collection of pre-1923 digitized papers: http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/
- Elephind, a search engine for digitized newspapers: https://elephind.com/
- Old Fulton Postcards, a one-man website that started with postcards (hence the name) but has expanded into an extraordinary digital newspaper site: http://www.fultonhistory.com/Fulton.html
