If you follow this website at all, you know that I from time to time update the free online historical newspapers that are available for you to search. I originally posted the New York Online Historical Newspapers Summary in February, 2014, and then updated it in December, 2014, again in June, 2015 and also at the end of 2015. The largest collection for the state is Old Fulton New York Postcards which has significant updates every few months. I usually write an article alerting you to those updates as they are published.

There is another fast growing site for New York that you should be aware of.  And that is NY State Historic Newspapers. They are adding and updating titles at a very rapid rate and now have over 5.3 million pages available.

All of the counties in the state are now represented. It is brought to you by the Northern New York Library Network in partnership with the Empire State Library Network. You should take advantage of this resource and check back often.
​
