Advantage Preservation Adds 1.5 Million Historical Newspaper Pages - November, 2017

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.
