Hi Sharon.
They are full-text, in fact the exact text, directly from the newspapers
themselves. Most all of the newspapers are "exclusives" with NewsBank and
not available elsewhere. The coverage is so complete that they capture 80%
of all published obits each year for the last several years.

Does your library already subscribe?
