This brochure is to be distributed by institutions, and to be used to assist genealogists in using Chronicling America, the Library of Congress database that hosts newspapers. This brochure was created by the Co-Principal Investigators of the Historic Maryland Newspapers Project, so it has a focus on Maryland newspapers.
One-hour workshop presented at the 2017 Maryland Library Association and Delaware Library Association Joint Library Conference. Delaware and Maryland in the News will discuss the National Endowment for the Humanities National Digital Newspaper Program and the two states' newspaper digitization projects. You will learn how to use the Chronicling America database for different levels of research, and some educational and outreach tools to promote this resource.
