[Genealib] ProQuest Obituaries

[Larry Naukam]

I suggest, after fiddling with this a bit, that it closely related to
(http://www.newspaperarchive.com/); in fact
(http://www.newspaperarchive.com/DesktopDefault.aspx) shows the Free to...
advert. We had a chance to try that a year or two ago, and it proved to be
useful for answering patrons' questions. 

You can see what is included at the  site by trying
http://www.newspaperarchive.com/BrowsePapers.aspx; although since I am
interested in Germany I found that only the European edition of the Starts
and Stripes is available. Since we are in upstate NY, I looked for NY
papers. Buffalo and Rochester are not included at all, while Syracuse has
about 40 papers available (including backfiles).

Of course, for free is a good incentive. Maybe we will pursue it after
hearing reports back from the front....
