Researching Newspapers

[alan polk]

I think Andy Hall and others had posted up sites to search old newspapers. I thought I had saved the sites but have lost it.

I'm inteterested in finding out whether or not I might could access St. Louis Missouri Republican, 5 Dec. 1884. Would such be accessible on those sites you guys and gals use? If so, could someone repost those sites. Thanks so much!

google : Library of Congress , Chronicling America - great FREE source for historical newspapers.

Ancestry Hunt--links by state, both free and subscription

Google News Archive - The search feature doesn't work well on this, and I believe older papers aren't even included. Some great finds sitting out there if you know where to look.
https://news.google.com/newspapers

Subscription sites
Newspapers.com - I think it has the most reliable search engine of the subscription sites, plus is easiest to browse so I always check here first. Also, a helpful feature is that pages show up in google searches.

Genealogy Bank http://www.genealogybank.com/explore/newspapers/all

Newspaperarchives.com https://newspaperarchive.com/?gclid=CJbEg4iblMwCFQmRaQodpt4GzQ

It's also well worth the time to google historic newspapers plus the town and state you're looking in/around. I did that this week and up popped a digitized newspaper at the town's public library.

Archive.org also has some newspapers that have been uploaded onto the site. Not much in the way of a reliable search feature, but if you know the paper and the published date you can view the entire paper.

I will check this evening. I have access to newspaper archive.com and genealogy bank

Geneaology Bank covers that date range, not sure about that exact date. What specifically are you looking for in that issue?

Thanks! I posted this thread up about 2 years ago, so I can't remember exactly, but it probably had something to do with Missouri troops at Champion Hill or Big Black River.

Thanks for all the responses!

Sorry, didn't notice this was that old. My apologies for missing it then.

Oh, no problem, Andy. You and others gave me great sites to use! So I'm very appreciative!
