Papers up to 1922 are accessible with a Basic newspapers.com subscription — regular annual subscription $79.95 US /year with half price for Fold3 or Ancestry.com subscribers.
The not so good news is that for later years an additional Publishers Extra subscription is required for $59.95 US /year or $11.95 US /month.
Other Canadian newspapers available with the Basic subscription are: The Brandon Sun (
1961–1977), The Chilliwack Progress (1891–2007), The (Regina) Leader (1883–1907), The Lethbridge Herald (1905–1964), Manitoba Free Press (1874–1931), Manitoba Morning Free Press (1893–1914), Ottawa Daily Citizen (1846–1897), The Ottawa Journal (1885–1980), Vancouver Daily World (1888–1924), (Calgary) Weekly Herald (1883–1901), The Winnipeg Tribune (1890–1949).
The Publishers Extra collection also includes the British newspapers The Guardian and The Observer from 1900 with prior years included in the Basic subscription.
The additions are interesting, despite the price: but I wonder how much of each paper is actually available. I took advantage of the free 4 days at Newspapers.com offered for Remembrance Day, and found quite a few items of interest for my family. However, I could not find some death and marriage notices that fell within the time period available and papers available (they allowed Canadians to access only newspapers from Canada, Britain and Australia, and only for the time period of about 1890-1920).
ReplyDeleteAfter some specific searches failed, I did a "Browse" on the Winnipeg Free Press for the year of interest, and found that Newspapers.com actually has only 2 months out of the 12 for the year.
So their advertised date ranges promise more than they can actually offer.
