News Paper Extractions

News paper Extractions

A valuable free resource available online is the News Paper collection available free of charge at Paper of Record The collection contains online access to news papers from all over the world and provides a wealth of information for the 1800's. One must register to view the news paper articles but use of the search engine is available for all without registration. If you find articles of interest the registration process is simple and without charge. Your log in and password are sent within seconds and you are returned to your article search page which enables viewing of the article.

My personal interest in the collection relates specifically to the Brundage Lines located in Canada for which I found a substantial amount of information. I found over 300 article were available for the Brundage name though many were for advertisements for S.K. Brundage who operated a shipping and merchandising business in St. John for many years. If there are any researchers of the S.K. Brundage line out there this site will be of particular interest to your research.
