Comments on: Newspaper Archives https://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=865 Bringing obscurity into focus Thu, 11 Apr 2019 15:39:26 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.0.22 By: Dave Powell https://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=865&cpage=1#comment-34227 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 10:38:40 +0000 http://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=865#comment-34227 Paul,

I didn’t mean to imply that the site wasn’t useful – just that I always want more.:)

I think what you guys are doing is a daunting task, to be much much applauded. For years, I have been xeroxing my own collection of ACW papers, drawm from microfilm, to the point where I have about a dozen binders of stuff and organization is becoming a problem.

Dave

I use it all the time for my research and a good number of the newspaper references in my new book, Lincoln’s Labels, as well as my forthcoming book on CW medicine, were drawn from my NA research. After I did a search for a friend whose parents were doing some family tree work, and found some great pieces, they became subscribers as well. I find that you have to be flexible with your word choices and the interface a bit clumsy, but the payoff is fantastic.

So, I need to eat those words and report that we are sporting just under 162,000 newspaper pages in the older time frame. So, yes, there are many gaps to be filled, and you might want to think of us as just another tool in the toolbox. A bright shiny one, we like to think, but I wouldn’t throw away the hammer and chisel.

Thanks,

Paul

I guess it has something to do with being as good looking as Eric. As measured by receiving a unanimous vote of all our female employees. Or else being willing to write a number of deeply insightful articles that will appeal to our the audience of hard core genealogists and/or sports historians.

Either one should be fine

Best wishes,

Paul

So I wouldn’t necessarily despair of finding your relative in the mix. Even though we are just a another tool in the mix for the canny genealogist, we still think it is a bright shiny tool and useful in quite a few tight spots. Thanks for your comment, however We are always looking for/adding more content…

I find that I use it frequently for a month or so, and then wait for a while to see what new stuff they add.

There are some odd coverage holes, like Philadelphia, or some of the date ranges they start with. I think they still need to add a lot more 61-65 newspapers before the site becomes standard for ACW users.
