Thanks for that, Alan! I found an article about the tram accident that killed my grandmother's cousin in Pittsburgh in 1897. Terrible story, but I'm glad to get the details

Regards,
Sarah

I’m glad you all enjoyed that lot.

There are many online newspaper archives listed on this site, some of them are in Google News Archive http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_on ... r_archives I’ve listed some more hereunder. There’s a video on searching here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHiFgdc3Q2U Use the advanced search and put the newspaper name in the source box.

AUSTRALIA
The Sydney Mail
1860s to 1930s
http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=w ... 5&b_mode=2

CANADA
Ottawa Citizen
1850s to 1980s
http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=Q ... 4&b_mode=2

U.S.A.
They seem to have scanned many U.S. newspapers. There doesn’t appear to be a full list of them anywhere, probably because it’s growing all the time. That’s unfortunate if you wanted to concentrate your search on a particular city because you’re getting too many results otherwise. You can’t search by State or City, just by newspaper name. Here’s a few more.

Sarasota Herald-Tribune (Florida)
1930s to 1990s
http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=A ... 5&b_mode=2

Daytona Beach Morning Journal (Florida)
1930s to 1980s
http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=O ... 3&b_mode=2

The Deseret News (Utah)
1850s to 2000s
http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=A ... 2&b_mode=2

The Spokesman-Review (Washington State)
1890s to 2000s
http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=0 ... 2&b_mode=2

Ellensburg Daily Record (Washington State)
1910s to 2000s

Wow Alan

Thank you so much for that information. =D> I have been trying to find back newspapers from the Montreal Gazette for a long time. I will dive in now and probably won't surface for a few days.

Can your post be kept on as a "sticky" ?
