However, sadly, they emailed all their "free" customers saying that we'd have to start paying for access effective July 1st, 2008. It is not something my library can afford right now, so we're going to lose access to these newspapers at the end of the month. Which is too bad, because it is a very good resource.

Another great resource for historical newspaper archives is this site at XooxleAnswers: http://xooxleanswers.com/newspaperarchives4.aspx Free Newspaper Archives There are a ton of great links here, all of them to online newspaper and magazine archives that go back at least 50 years. Some of them go back to the 17th century! Best of all, everything listed here is free. There is no charge to access any of the archives listed at this site. Most of the material is from the US, and is in English, but there are also many international listings, and non-English listings (French, German, Polish, Hebrew, even Maori!), from both the US and elsewhere. Definitely worth checking out! Newspaperarchives.com is terrific…I have used it for years, and uncovered some real gems.
