Webinar on Researching Library of Congress’ Chronicling America
Skip to comments
Unlike newspapers.com and newspaperarchive.com Library of Congress’ Chronicling America is a free (your tax dollars at work) resource for researching newspapers and magazines. A worthy resource for investigating America’s past – like newspaper comic strips, and other far less important subjects. The LoC is offering a webinar on how to search the site for best results.
About the Library of Congress Chronicling America collection:
The Chronicling America Historic American Newspapers collection provides access to select digitized newspaper pages produced by the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP), a partnership between the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the Library of Congress.
