Advantage Archives Adds 1.8 Million Historical Newspaper Pages - July 2019

8/8/2019

In February, 2017, I started publishing a list of the catalog of online historical newspapers from over 400 different collections put together by the Advantage Archives Company, developed in conjunction with the libraries, historical societies and museums across the U.S. who preserve the historical newspapers for their communities. The list has grown a lot since then. Now there are over 630 collections - a 50% per cent growth in a little over two years.

To see the latest complete list, click on 60 Million Historic U.S. Newspaper Pages Now Available from Advantage Archives.
