Historic American Newspapers

There is a FREE website to read pre-1923 Anadarko (and other town) newspapers over at Library of Congress - Chronicling America. Under the heading All Digitized Newspapers 1836-1922, select "Oklahoma" or whatever state you are searching, then Browse the icon to the right of the title and select the calendar date you wish to view. Papers may also be downloaded at no cost in a variety of formats. The databases are word searchable which will save a lot of needless looking.

While I was over there I click on the 100 years ago today: October 31, 1911 to see what I could find. There was news from The Bourbon News, Paris, KY; New-York Tribune and other named newspapers.

You can zoom in with your mouse to read certain articles and switch pages and even download or clip an image. It sounds great for those searching old newspapers for their ancestry.   |  View or Add Comments (1 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
