  1. 1920 -1922: high priced purchase of prized boar at County Fair resulted sterile

  2. While you had the Kansas City Star, I found ads for my great-grandfather’s paint store going back to 1904, and articles about the store Fire, among other amazing things.

    This is a wonderful service.

    1. Yes, when (if ever) are you going to bring back the Kansas City Star? I use the Newspapers site for family history research and without the Star, the site is virtually worthless to me and my subscription money is wasted. I can’t be the only one.

      1. I was going to ask the same thing. I never knew how much I could miss one newspaper! Is there any news at all about a resolution? Thank you!

  3. Can you do/When will you do San Diego, CA or San Diego, CA County newspapers? I’m really interested in those, and you haven’t done any yet, so far as I can see…

  4. Will you ever have the Colorado papers, The Denver Post and The Rocky Mtn News? Have found some great info from your site but need these papers too

  5. Until you have the St. Louis Post Dispatch and/or Globe Democrat you are totally useless to me……….

  6. Newspapers representing more than 5 cities in Massachusetts would be quite helpful.
    How is it determined which papers are added?

    Nice job on Kansas additions!

  7. Would like to see more small town papers from Missouri as well as the Kansas city Times star

  8. how about … the William Randolph Hearst newspapers – the SF, LA and Chicago Examiners? you have none right now – very frustrating. how ’bout the Seattle Post Intelligencer 1900-1910? how about the LA Times ca 1900?

    how bout the show business papers – the New York Clipper, the NY Dramatic Mirror, Chicago DM, Variety, Vaudeville News? and there’s still a paucity of California papers at this time.

    lots to do? but you guys are great so far!

  9. I have no idea what papers you have, and whether they would help me at all, so I can’t see as it is worth the rice to me.

    1. You can easily find out what we have through the “Browse” or “Papers” links at the top of all pages on the site. You could also use the “See Paper by Location” link on the homepage to see them on a map.
