> historic newspaper collection. Some lessons could have been learned
> from Proquest, which has sharper images and which prints newspaper
> name, date, and page number on the page with the printed article.
> Nonetheless, after experimenting with the search features for only a
> half hour, I can attest to the research benefits of this new resource,
> which offershistoric newspaperspreviously unavailable online.
