Finding
Newspapers Online
With the popularity of the Internet, most newspapers
now maintain some sort of presence online. Some newspaper web sites
only have information on how to subscribe, others have news stories,
vital records (births, deaths, marriages) information as well as a variety
of local news.
There are several good newspaper index sites you can
visit; here are my favorites:
All three sites list newspaper web sites for several
countries.
Once you locate a newspaper you are interested in,
you can visit the site to see if they have any items of interest (obituary
archives, local news, etc.), or e-mail for information on where the
newspaper archive is kept, whether it can be searched, if the newspaper
is microfilmed, if the local library or genealogical society has extracted
information, whether they accept Letters to the Editor via e-mail, and
so on.
