OldNews.com Grows by 11.6 Million Nordic Newspapers

OldNews.com

This isn't exactly new news but it is an indication of the way the OldNews.com website is likely to grow. If you haven't looked at the OldNews.com website, you should. Quoting from the announcement back in May:

The new content includes historical local, regional and national newspapers, periodicals and gazettes from Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands, with articles dating back to 1666, but mostly from the 19th century.

They are incredibly useful for anyone researching Nordic roots: we’ve gathered them from various sources into one place, making it easier than ever to search through them.

Here is a link to a video explaining the content and function of the OldNews.com website.

I tried a search for a local Eastern Arizona newspaper and immediately found 188 results for one of my ancestors. Here is an example of one article. 

I am sure that the collection will focus on European newspapers from the list of countries in the place search but a general search for pages from the U.S. came up with almost 115 million pages. This is a paywall program but some of the content is also available on the MyHeritage.com website.
