Subject: Re: [or-roots] Digital Newspapers Collection


So glad you did. Surprisingly, each state has at least one of these digital 
newspaper collections now (I've been told), as do several other places. 
There is one on Google, one at the Library of Congress, Ancestry has a 
series as do genealogybank, footnote and worldvitalrecords. One of my 
favorite ones is a private collection in upstate New York (which I can 
remember the name of at the moment). Over 6 million pages on that one when 
last I checked. Would it be helpful if I created a web page on 
Genealogytrails with these digital newspapers on on web page to make them 
easier to find?  Or perhaps on a site like Linkpendium.com?

This past week I've been steadily going through the ones on the California 
Digital Newspaper collection and have been transcribing every article I can 
find that deals with "Empire City". I will be putting these online on 
genealogytrails very soon so others will be able to find them. If anyone 
else has clippings they have found that are particularly interesting that 
they have read, but don't want to transcribe, if you will send me the link 
to the article I would be happy to transcribe it and post it both here and 
online for others to see.
