Cambridge Library puts its historic newspaper collection on line.

Recently the Cambridge, MA Public Library put its old newspapers on line. This collection spans from 1846-1923. It also contains several different Cambridge papers. More will go on line every year as they come into public domain. This is a great resource for any type of research. When you click on an article both the original image an a text version comes up. The text recognition often has trouble recognizing the old type. The library is looking for volunteers who will help correct the text. Even you just correct the one article you looked up it will help. Check it out.
