Digital Archive of Northern New York Newspapers
"I found out about this archive thanks to a story in the Plattsburgh (New
York) Press-Republican, which announced recently the first phase of its
online archive. The first round of its digitization project will put 270,000
pages of its back issues (1959 to 1992) online.
The pages will be available on the Press-Republican's Web site, but will
ALSO be available, for free, at the Northern New York Historical Newspapers
Web site, which is at http://news.nnyln.net . This yummy crunchy site has
over 900,000 pages of archives from 27 newspapers."
