Historic Newspapers Online

Jeffersonville Township Public Library’s Family and Local History Librarian Diane Stepro will help family historians learn how to find free digitized historic newspapers to fire up their research. While some of the sites that charge for access to digitized resources for family history are very well-know, many sites offer free home access to historic newspapers for anyone with an Internet connection. This one-hour lesson will highlight some of the best free resources available, as well as some search strategies. Participants will have a chance to try some hands-on searching with the Jeffersonville Family and Local History Center’s brand new computers. This presentation, which will be held at the main library, is recommended for teen and adult patrons of all skill levels.
