Best website for newpapers, research, etc...

Hi Kevin:

I use both newspapers.com and newspaperarchive.com, they both have strengths and weaknesses. I think they're both, like, ten bucks a month.

There's also ancestry.com, which often has newspaper articles digitized that you can hunt through.

A lot of smaller, older towns have historical societies that have researchers that can help you; they have access to libraries that sometimes have tons of newspapers on microfiche that they can dig into if you give them enough time.

I use newspaperarchives.com, it's $29.95/month for unlimited article downloads. It's a useful resource but is limited to smaller publications; no NY Times, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, and Texas is a virtual black hole unless you're looking for info on West Texas.

Augmented with The Library of Congress Newspaper Archives, and SmallTownPapers.com and you've got a decent cross-section of publications. As mentioned before local historical societies are always an excellent resource...

I believe harpweek.com sells the complete digitalized Harper's Weekly
