Newspaper Research

Usually I don't have the luxury of knowing the date of the article. I haven't spent as much time downtown looking through old Vindicators as I use to. It's that "work 8+ hours in a library and then go sit in a library for 3-4 more hours researching" thing that gets me.

The people at the main library are really great about looking up articles though if you only have 1.

I am very excited about being able to search Youngstown Vindicator papers for various years though. This is really a great find!

Greg:

When I have a problem with a date or subject I e-mail the Public Library for help and they are really good at getting back. If you just need a date there would be no charge but if you need a specific article they will e-mail you the article at about 1.00 per page.

Also in searching out at Google, if an event happened say on 1/1/1900 try looking thru the 1/2/1900 paper.

Excellent find! Thank you very much. I didn't have any luck searching for a headline that was in one of the papers, maybe in the future they will make the pages searchable.

That is legit!

NOTE FOR HISTORY BUFFS

There are a total of four entries for The Vindicator:

Mahoning Valley Vindicator
Mahoning Vindicator
Evening Vindicator
Youngstown Vindicator

Use the Index to go to the papers under those names.

It's too bad that we can't save any of those old treasures but Google blocks the save function.
