Genealogy Series: What's New in Newspapers?

Nothing quite fleshes out a life story like the local newspaper. With today’s digitization efforts newspapers are more accessible than ever. Join us to take a glimpse into free and paid archives and explore some new digital repositories. We’ll also go over how to access those pesky in-print and microfilm newspapers that are forever (digitally) out of reach.
