The Scoop on Digitized Historic Newspapers for Genealogy

with Eleanor Brinsko

Births, deaths, marriages, legal matters, and daily doings are just a few things newspapers can provide on our ancestors. But where can you find them without sitting hunched over a microfilm reader or paging through acidic newspapers that crumble with every turn? Digitized newspapers! This presentation will explore the history of historic newspaper accessibility, the digitization process, and different online databases to find these important treasures.

Eleanor Brinsko is a professional genealogist who specializes in Norwegian-American genealogy by looking at genealogical and social trends on both sides of the Atlantic.
