Assorted Catchup ... Free Access Offers Are Still Accessible -- Get Searching!

Do not forget there are a variety of free access offers still going on out there in the genealogy world. Here are the links to our prior posts.

See our Assorted Catchup... Part 2 on April 24, Assorted Catchup ... Some Extensions on May 4, Extension of free remote access to Ancestry Library Edition and free access to NARA records on Ancestry.com on May 1, Michigan Residents can get remote access with a Library of Michigan library card on May 5, and Assorted Catchup ... More Access on May 9.

A new, short-term offer was spotted today.

Newspapers.com Publisher's Extra Free Access Now until May, 17, 2020
Newspapers.com does not give free access to its newespapers very often. This weekend from now until May 17, 2020, at 11:59 p.m. MT, is one of those times and it is to the Newspapers.com Publisher's Extra collection.

If you go straight to the website you will not see the offer. Instead it appears it might be an affiliate-linked offer. (Affiliate offers do not cost you the customer anything extra but pays the site whose link was used to get to the offer.) So to get to the free access go through the Genealogy Bargains website post on the free access offer. Do not forget to save/download you newspapers finds because when the free access period is over you will lose access to your newspaper finds.

We decided to include this information so that those who do not have access to that Publisher's Extra collection can take advantage of the free access offer. Remember having a Library of Michigan library card will get you some remote access to Newspapers.com during this COVID-19 time. See our earlier post on Michigan residents getting a Library of Michigan library card.

See you soon at Mt. Clemens Public Library!
