The New York Historic Newspapers (nyshistoricnewspapers.org) provides free online access to over 700 historic newspaper titles, comprising more than 11 million pages, from every county in the state. The project also provides an affordable microfilm digitization process that makes it easy for libraries, historic associations and museums to get prized newspaper microfilm scanned and added to the website. Contributors include more than a hundred academic libraries, public libraries, historical societies and museums from across the state.

This session will introduce attendees to the New York Historic Newspaper service and provide an overview. There will be time for Q&A.
