ProQuest Historical Newspapers?
Anyone have any experience with using this resource. It is supposed
to be part of "The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society."
My latest version of "Internet Genealogy" says it requires a membership
of $60 to take advantage of this resource. It indicates a complete
index of the The New York Times from 1851 to 2002. Anyone using it?
Regards...Bob

Re: ProQuest Historical Newspapers?
Morning, Cheryl...
Yes, I checked last night through my local library. They do have access
to HeritageQuest, but, the Historical Newspapers portion was not
featured. Have you had an opportunity to use the ProQuest feature?
Did you find it useful in your genealogy research?
Thanks...Bob

Hello Bob (or is that boB 8>),
On http://www.oplin.com they have Newspaper Source | (EBSCOhost) and America's
Newspapers | (NewsBank) as a research options. This is accessible from
many Ohio Library systems with your library card. It is possible that
your own state may have a similar resource.

I have used it as part of a subscription to Godfrey Library. I found it very
useful, searching for accounts about any and all with one particular surname.
Once I inspected all the hits, I haven't gone back to it for a couple years,
mainly because it is either never updated or periodic updates are never
announced. I do recall it could be quirky at times.

Ehhhh ... it produced mostly small tidbits of what I think of as
"color", nothing really big or new-n-exiting. One item was that a
certain person had earned a teaching certificate in the June
examinations. Since she married in August, I didn't see that as a major
find. Another item was that a certain man had gone off to college ...
again, not news because I already knew he was Ph.D.
Maybe the people I was hunting didn't DO anything as newsworthy as other
folks.

In my (suburban New York) library system, we can access Proquest Historical
Newspapers from home. It is an amazing research resource. -- Q

that was pretty interesting.
