Big Update of Texas Online Historical Newspapers

I recently 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.

Included in that list are the state of Texas collections.

And just a couple of months ago as I have done two times a year since 2014, I updated the Texas list of free links - Texas Online Historical Newspapers Summary.

Here are the new County and Library collections that were not in the previous Texas update.  There are a total of 13 new collections with a total of 53 newspapers now available to search.
