Recently I learned about a new free archive website - Community History Archives
From their website:
The number of participating libraries varies widely by location. Iowa has 247 libraries participating. Canada has 3. Texas has 57. Missouri has 2.
You are unable to do a sitewide search. You have to go to each community archive separately and search there. However, I have already found newspaper articles I had not found on other newspaper archive websites.
Including this little blurb by a newspaper's editor praising my great-grandfather's honey.
It's also interesting to see that in 1905 there were already enough people choosing to have some food items shipped to them that the newspaper would address them.
The Hays County Time.
July 28, 1905
The finest honey on the market, so far as we have observed, is that shipped here by Mr M E Van Every, of Maxwell. Here is another pointer for those who would "live at home."
