I was able to get on today (2/14), sign in and search the archives. You are awarded 10 credits when you register and then I don't know what will happen after they are gone. But I was able to do a search of my family and got 59 hits on one name alone! Then the actual newspaper pages loaded in adobe. Was able to magnify and read. Great!! Hope it lasts a while. Good luck. Try again! It is worth it. Maureen
