Subscription needed
Newspapers.com is a subscription resource. If you use the site in conjunction with an Ancestry.com or Ancestry.ca subscription you will be able to gain access to their searches in a very efficient fashion. The site can also be used on it’s own.
Is it worth it?
Before I subscribed to the site I thought I was doing pretty well with finding newspaper articles. Through using microfilm at the University library and the Google News Archive I had found 150+ articles.
After I subscribed to Newspapers.com I was able to find an additional 560+ articles in less than a year. I don’t think you can argue with my success. To me it has been of tremendous value in my search.
