Researching Newspapers Outside of Newspapers.com
Amber Oldenburg, One Branch at a Time Genealogy

Midland Genealogical Society meeting and program
Wednesday, April 16 at 7pm

The availability of digitized newspapers continues to grow each day, and now researchers can find thousands of newspapers on sites outside of websites like Newspapers.com. This presentation will explore the numerous sites and archives that make newspapers easily accessible for little to no cost.

This presentation will showcase sites that make newspapers available to researchers for free or very little cost, such as Advantage Archives and Chronicling America, as well as the resources for newspaper research available at local FamilySearch Centers and archives. Attendees will walk away armed with a wide array of resources to begin tracing their family history in newspapers.
