Advantage Preservation Adds 3 Million Historical Newspaper Pages

5/7/2017

8 Comments

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 list go to Search 40 Million Historic U.S. Newspaper Pages for Free! It totals over 40 million pages from 37 states from the U.S.


​
Since that time, as of late April, 2017, Advantage Preservation and their customer institutions have added 15 new collections, and have added to 76 of their current collections. This represents collection adds/updates from 23 different states, totaling about 3 million pages.

Here are the new County and Library collections that were added after the previous Advantage Preservation update, followed by the collections that have had additional newspapers added to their collections in the last two months or so.

A few of the listed Advantage Preservation sites are locked to the IP addresses of the library or sponsoring organization, so it's not possible to search them without being *at* the library.

For instance, http://hardincounty.advantage-preservation.com/

Just wanted to say thank you! Your site has saved me so much time & been so helpful. This new update added a town I had been making trips to tediously go through microfilm for over the last year. Feel like I won the jackpot. :)

I posted on an older version of this article and wish to post my comment here as well. I was able to access one of the newspapers on advantage-preservation in 2015. Since then I have been unable to get the website to load. Get timed out error etc. Can you please re-visit this subject to see why there is a problem accessing these pages? Is it as someone states above you need to be at the library? If so, that is totally pointless. I want to access this newspaper: http://champaigncounty.advantage-preservation.com/ I cannot find this on newspapers.com for my research. Wishing to re-visit some searches I had completed in 2015.
