Library of Michigan Cardholders can Now Access thru NewsBank Toronto's The Globe and Mail Newspaper 1844 - 2017

We have been notifying and reminding everyone of the many databases accessible from home during the pandemic using a Library of Michigan library card. Today we learned that through its NewsBank database, Library of Michigan cardholders can now access Toronto's The Globe and Mail newspaper. This database spans from 1844 to 2017. Yet another good reason to have a Library of Michigan library card.

 

Remember from our last post new for Library of Michigan cardholders is the The Detroit News (1873-1999) and the Michigan Digital Sanborn Maps, 1867-1970. The Library of Michigan now owns access to the Proquest Michigan Digital Sanborn Map collection in perpetuity.

Learn about Family History research through the Library of Michigan at www.michigan.gov/familyhistory and apply or renew at www.michigan.gov/librarycard for a Library of Michigan library card. (Remember, this is for Michigan residents and out-of-state students enrolled in a Michigan college or university.) The Library of Michigan will send you your library card information using email and send the physical card at a later date. It does not take long to get your library card information by email. Since applications are done online, you do need to supply your Michigan driver license number.
This is a fantastic opportunity for genealogists. There is lots to explore, search and find.

See you soon at Mt. Clemens Public Library!
