Description
NewspaperAbstracts.com is a user-contributed database of old news items as well as a resource to other sites and associations that hold old newspapers. The initial purpose of the site was to aid others in their family history research, but as the site has grown, it has become a popular site for research of all types as well as a nice site to browse and catch up on old news with the morning coffee. As the site is user-contributed, there will be some areas that do not yet have news items placed in them, however as the site grows and more individuals become interested in old news, more and more areas are now being filled.
Newspaper Abstracts goal is to become your complete resource for family history research using newspapers. Our site is composed of over 37,000+ news items, ranging in size from a single entry to an entire newspaper, all provided by site visitors and made available to you free of charge. This database continues to grow with the daily submission of news items by site visitors. See Submit an Article or Link to contribute your news items.
Newspapers began regular publication in the United States in 1704 and to transcribe all of the newspapers published since that time would be an impossible task. Therefore, we have provided you with many other resources on our site in the form of links to aid you in your research. These links are to sites relevant to newspapers and may include transcribed news items, scanned newspapers, listings of newspapers, microfilmed newspapers, publications, etc. Since the linked websites are not under our control, their content and fees, if any, may vary. The database of news items on our site (NewspaperAbstracts.com) submitted by site users is and always will be free of charge.
