Note: I am passing along this message with the blessing of the good folks at the Godfrey Library. They will soon be adding full-text, fully searchable LA Times. Godfrey Scholar subscriptions can be purchased for only $35 per year. I use the NY Times all the time and I can't wait until the LA Times is available. -Paula The Godfrey Memorial Library is pleased to announce that it is adding the complete backfiles of the: -Los Angeles Times (1881-1984); every word searchable, even the ads and -Washington Post (1877-1988); every word searchable, even the ads These will be available to Godfrey Scholars by the end of this year. These two newspapers will work the same as the online edition of the New York Times (1851-2001). In all three newspapers you can search on every word, in every article even the ads. Each article is easy to download, print or save. Having these newspapers online makes it even easier for genealogists to find obituary notices, birth and wedding announcements along with biographical sketches and news stories. It has never been easier to do genealogical research and the Godfrey Memorial Library is pleased to do our part to help out. Please see our website, www.Godfrey.org for details of the other online newspapers available and the other extensive online services that the library already provides in the Godfrey Scholar program.
