Free Access July 3 to 8 to MyHeritage's United States Newspapers Collection

According to the MyHeritage.com blog, in honor of the July 4th holiday from now until July 8, MyHeritage is giving free access to all of its US Newspapers collection on MyHeritage's SuperSearch.

Here is the link that takes you straight to the Newspaper search on MyHeritage's SuperSearch. Remember no data subscription or trial subscription is required so just click on the newspaper titles or the thumbnail-size image of the newspaper in your results list to see the newspaper page.

The U.S. Newspaper collection currently holds newspapers from the states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Connecticut, Maine, New York, Kentucky, Indiana, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Maryland, West Virginia, New Jersey, and Delaware. In addition to the newspaper collections organized by state, we are also providing free access to Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers, 1836-1922 collection. This collection encompasses 10,186,650 pages drawn from newspapers throughout the entire United States from 1836-1922.
Note: We tested this free access finding a few of the  results (but not all) originating from Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers 1836-1922 collection which are MyHeritage links to that collection on the Library of Congress' Chronicling America website did not show the newspaper but resulted in a 502 bad gateway error. If these links that error do not get fixed during the free access period, you can always go directly to the Chronicling America site and drill down to that particular newspaper page yourself as a work around.

Have fun searching and stay safe for the holiday.

See you soon at Mt. Clemens Public Library!
