State Historical Society Adds Digitized Newspapers to Website

The State Historical Society of North Dakota, in partnership with the North Dakota Genealogy Society, has added more than 50,000 pages of newspapers online at ndarchives.advantage-preservation.com.

The following newspapers have been added:
McClusky Gazette (1909-1931)
Mott Pioneer Press (1907-1928)
LaMoure County Chronicle (1888-1926)
Hettinger County Herald (1907-1927)
New Rockford Transcript (1883-1920)

The State Archives, a department of the State Historical Society, digitized the newspapers for Advantage Archives to host.

“It’s great to see organizations like the North Dakota Genealogy Society help fund this important project,” said State Archives Director Shane Molander. "The ability to do specific searches, using keywords or names, across enormous numbers of newspapers makes researching fun and fast. Whether an individual is doing family history or working on a school paper, the newspapers are a great primary source and full of information not found elsewhere.”

Over 1.4 million pages of newspaper are freely available for access and searching on Advantage Archives. The State Archives works with local libraries, historical societies, and other entities interested in getting newspapers online and word searchable.
