    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: bobread159 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.kings/15651.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: The New York Sun that you found was an attempt to ressurect the name and format of the original. Due to diminishing advertising revenues, increased material costs, predatory competition and labor problems many newspapers either closed or merged with other papers, The New York Sun merged with the World-Telegram in 1950 forming the World, Telegram and Sun. In the middle seventies there was a larger merger in a final attempt to keed newspaper revenues alive, but it failed leaving only a few nespapaers in the field. To the best of my knowledge, the archives of the New York Sun were never digitized. If fact I cannot even say how completely they were microfilmed. The only chance that I can think of is to contact the Latter Day Saints and/or the main libraries in New York City to see if they have copies.
