Not good value to pay $69.95 every three months, then. They don't offer a three month price any more, which might be where the price got screwed up. I'll probably re subscribe again in a few months.

http://www.elephind.com/ I just found this website earlier today. I have found a few Canberra Australia clippings. I haven't checked it out enough yet to know what other newspapers are available.

Has anyone ever used http://www.newspapers.com/? I've found a little trick you can use to get their articles (but not clippings) for free. Do a Google search of: "search query" site:newspapers.com Click on a result, and scroll down to the "OCR text" box, and all the text from that page of the newspaper is available.

Speed and search features are great, as is the clipping tool. The best part is the constant stream of new content though, even if most of it has appeared on other newspaper sites before.

It's cheaper, faster and fully searchable. No clue how the customer service is yet, but so far I'm liking it more than newspaperarchives.com which I found unwieldy most of the time.

Seems to be the same newspapers as NA, but much faster and easier to use.

If you have complete access to the website, I have some Waco Tx, Kansas City & Ottawa clippings posted on the "My Clippings" section. You may be able to access them. I was saving them to post the material here, just haven't had the spare time from work. You're more than welcome to copy them if you can get to them.

The Palm Beach Post and Miami News were deleted from the Google Newspaper Archive without warning last week. I know of people who were using them for research as late as the afternoon they were pulled, only to back that evening to find them gone. I have no idea of the reason. Cox Enterprises, the owner of the content, can't possibly believe that putting them behind some paywall will be a revenue producer. Anyway, they're gone which is too bad because there was information there hadn't been tapped yet.

I just had a google hit for https://pbpost.newspapers.com so that is probably the answer. The fuckers at Newspapers.com are currently moving a lot of stuff in order to earn more money with premium collections or whatever you might want to call it. So you subscribe to NP and they say you get "unlimited access".Fuck that, it's nowadays more like "Didn't you always want to pay for LOC? Now you can with a basic subscription to Newspapers.com!"

So it seems that Newspapers.com is now "just" trying to get you to subscribe to a premium section for $139.90/year It's at least better than having to shell out close to 10 bucks for a single one of these papers a month. https://www.newspapers.com/choose-a-plan/#included-with-extra ...

A couple of other newspaper sites not listed here are the Library of Congress's Chronicling America, which includes a lot of papers, but all before about 1925. So great for the really old stuff. For pay, there is also GenealogyBank.com, which is a product of Newsbank.com, and cost something like $70 a year. It has almost a completely different set of newspapers from Newspapers.com.
