Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers

Here's another great newspaper site for persons doing research in New
York State. It's mostly upstate newspapers but has some downstate and
Connecticut papers too. The home page says something about Fulton
County (NY) postcards but just ignore that and enter. It's not the most user friendly site but it's sure better than nothing. http://www.fultonhistory.com/ or http://www.fultonhistory.com/my%20photo%20albums/All%20Newspapers/index.html (this link is to the Newspaper index of papers online. But this site is confusing to navigate. I cannot even get the hyperlinks to work properly, so you may need to cut/paste them into your broser. ~ Denise
