<div><span>Google has a number of newspapers which have been
digitized now. You can find them through news.google.com and
then going to the archives section. I like their ability to
search by a date range, and their digital images of the
newspaper pages are clear enough that a screen capture program
like abbyy screenshot reader ($10) can be used to do a fair job
of OCRing the material - or you can stick with the Text view
that Google provides. Both can save a significant amount of
typing if the information is clean enough. My favorite
newspapers to look at are the Spokane newspapers pre 1900 (they
did an amazing job of covering the whole of the Oregon
territory) and the Eugene Register Guard. <br>
</span></div>
<div><br>
<span></span></div>
<div><span>Another favorite is the California Digital Newspaper
Collection. Like the Spokane papers, it did a fantastic job of
covering happenings in Oregon as well as Northern California,
where so many Oregonian pioneers traveled too. <a

<div><span>Additionally, I have found that the Southern Oregon
Digital collection has some great materials digitized. While not
newspapers, there are a lot of other materials to search through</span></div>

<pre wrap="">Ok. My bad.. I seem to have erased the e-mail that has the e-ddress of
the national entity who is digitizing the old newspapers.
Could someone [more organized than me] please re-send it to me?
Thank you, FF
