(Updated October, 2017)

Many family history and genealogy researchers who are used to searching for articles about our ancestors in old newspapers have gotten spoiled with the increasingly robust online collections that are available for free.  


But did you know that there are other quite large collections that are available via your local library or a library that may require a little bit more drive time?

One example of such a service is Gale Digital Collections. They have many titles that are searchable, depending on the subscription that your library has invested in. ​

Check out their availability at your local library, state or county library, or at a college or university near you to see if Gale Digital Collections are available.  You will be glad that you checked out these resources that are free if accessed at a library.

Here are some examples of what they have available with a link to find out the exact titles that are in each collection:
