The Library of Congress - Chronicling America website has added hundreds of thousands of new pages - just announced today. As you can see from the announcement, Maryland and North Carolina are highlighted.

This is from an email from the Library of Congress that I just received:

NEWSPAPERS ADDED: Hundreds of thousands of newspaper pages added

This week the Library of Congress began adding more historic newspapers to the Chronicling America Web site. First-time contributions from Maryland and North Carolina, as well as many other newspapers, are being added to the 6.7 million pages already available from 32 states and the District of Columbia.

Thanks for this tip! My SHACKFORD search on Chronicling America went from 1306 to 1700 in this week and that's before I added my searches for SHOCKFORD or SBACKFORD (tips from your earlier blogs! Wondering if you have any hints on how to just search for newly added newspapers on this site?

I do keep a spreadsheet of articles I find on newspaper searches but end up doing a lot of duplicate reviews without the ability to search for just the new items. THANKS!

I am searching for two new papers printed in Richwood, Nichols, WV in the forties and fifties. The News Leader and the West Virginia Hillbillie. The editor was James Comstock. Since the paper has closed down I don't know where the additions are stored. Can anyone help?
