In February, 2017, I published a list of the catalog of online historical newspapers from over 400 different collections put together by the Advantage Preservation Company, developed in conjunction with the libraries, historical societies and museums across the U.S. who preserve the historical newspapers for their communities. To see the entire updated list, click on Search 45 Million Historic U.S. Newspaper Pages from Advantage Preservation for Free!  It totals over 45 million pages from 37 states from the U.S.
