Canadian Newspaper Collection Missing from MyHeritage

As mentioned previously, a great addition to the MyHeritage collection in February was a large collection of full text searchable Canadian newspapers. They are the same papers previously available searchable at Google, and still available there but browse-only.

They've gone missing! Hopefully, it's only temporary. 

I only found out from Daniel Horowitz's presentation on MyHeritage's new search on Thursday where he showed that by scrolling down on the search page you can see new additions and get access to the catalogue.

I drew it to Daniel's attention. He replied, "We are working on resolving this and hope to bring them back soon."

Reading between the lines I'm wondering if it's a licencing rather than a technical issue.

An interesting development, to be sure... During the free 24 hours in June, I found quite a few articles at MH related to my husband's family. Curious to see how this pans out.
