Since January we've been chronicling a steady stream of FREE, full text, full image, searchable/browsable newspaper archives focused on a specific topic from NewspaperARCHIVE.com. The company is part of Heritage Microfilm based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This week the company has released two new archives each containing tens of thousands of newspaper articles from various newspapers. Each article is delivered as a pdf file ready for printing or saving. Kudos to Heritage for offering these databases and underlying content at no charge. Also a great way to see local newspaper coverage. What's New this Week?
