FindMyPast adds US & World newspapers

Find My Past has added nearly 120 million pages to its Newspaper holding with a huge upload of US and World publications.

The new US & World newspaper collection includes titles from across the USA and Canada as well as China, Denmark, France, Germany, Jamaica, Japan, Panama, South Africa and the Virgin Islands. Among the historical newspapers are the New York Times, the Washington Post, and a variety of local papers. More newspapers will join the line-up over time.

See a full list of the US & World newspapers here; select "By Publication" from the left-hand filters.

The collection is included in the World subscription package available through each of FindMyPast's international sites: FindMyPast.com, FindMyPast.ie, FindMyPast.com.au, and FindMyPast.co.uk. (The UK site isn't currently confirming that this collection is included in its World package... I'm sure it will be included within a few days.)

The US & World collection joins about 200 British Newspapers (only England, Scotland and Wales, so far) on FindMyPast's database offering.
