I’ve recently been enjoying the free newspapers at Fulton NY Postcards (don’t let their website name fool you). They have tons of old New York newspapers scanned and available for browsing or searching. This includes papers from Glens Falls, New York. I even found some need obituaries from other areas of New York too.
I was particularly taken by this gem that I found about my second great-grandfather, Deranzel Henry, who rescued a drowning boy in the Battenkill River.
Since I’m writting about free access, Footnote is giving free access to their newspaper collection this month, so make sure to go do some searches before May is over.
