[Genealib] Access newspaper Archive through Heritage Microfilms

[Deborah Larsen]

Mount Clemens Public Library signed up for free access about 2 or 3 months ago. Our researchers enjoy using it, and several have been delighted with their "finds."
 
A couple of items to note:
1) The free access for institutions includes all of the content EXCEPT for the customer's home state.  If you wish to access newspaper content from your state, you must purchase a subscription.
2) This content is also searchable through the Ancestry.com enhanced subscription option which includes Historical Newspapers.  However, when searching the newspapers through Ancestry it is difficult (if not impossible) to search topics, phrases and place names, as Ancestry's interface is set up to search for surnames.
3) An alternate way to search this content is through the Google news archive at http://news.google.com/archivesearch
Hits returned from NewspaperArchive in the Google search will say "subscription required."  You can then flip over to your Newspaper Archive page and bring up the full text.
