This resource, with content dating back to 1874, contains 2 million historical pages from the Winnipeg Free Press and is now available as an institutional subscription!
I just wanted to share this with you. Just last week, we invested in a subscription to Heritage Microfilm’s Newspaper Archive, an online database that houses literally millions of newspaper pages (in an oh-so-handy searchable PDF format) from 1759 to the present.
