Newspapers are a great source of information. Newspapers contain information about
events in our ancestors lives: births, marriages, deaths, bankruptcies, emigrations, and
participation in events. There is an incredible amount of newspaper information that can
be accessed on the Internet.
The purpose of this webpage is to show what's available and techniques to effectively use this information.

Thanks to a partnership between Google and the Bavarian State Library, many German newspapers from the
1800s on have been digitized and are available on books.google.com.
See WORKING WITH GERMAN LANGUAGE above how to easily translate these newspapers.
I have not found a complete list of the German newspapers digitized
and available on www.books.google.com.
The following are some of the newspapers I have found on Google.
The list is not complete and further descriptive information needs to be gathered about these newspapers.
NOTE: Newspaper “books” on Google usually contain
an entire year of newspapers.

clippings created by individuals
Individuals have created personal collections of newspaper clippings. These can be harder to find on the Internet but they are worth the search.
Formal Digitizing Projects
Google is not the only organization digitizing library holdings.
Thousands of published family histories, city and county histories, historic city directories, and related records are coming to the Internet. The Allen County Public Library (ACPL) in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Brigham Young University Harold B. Lee Library, and FamilySearch's Family History Library in Salt Lake City announced the joint project today. When complete, it will be the most comprehensive collection of city and county histories on the Web—and access will be free at www.familyhistoryarchive.byu.edu.
Bob Dewel created a 9 volume set of books about Sauk County history. He had originally written these in The Baraboo Sun and The Baraboo News-Republic. A copy of this set was held by the Allen County Public Library and was digitized as part of the project. These personal collections are great if the person was a good editor.

Evernote
Evernote is a phenomenal tool for newspaper clipping collections. My grandmother and my father created over 4500 pages of newspaper clippings. What's the best way to share this collection that doesn't have an index? Evernote solved my problems.
For about $50 a year, Evernote allows you to upload 1billion bytes of files to their site. I can give anybody FREE access to this online database. The really neat thing is that Evernote performs optical character recognition on the files that I upload. This creates a fully searchable index on all pages.
