Hello everyone,

I found this at the bottom of my mail pile and checked the website which was
listed in this message. (See bottom of this message.) It sounded like a very
good "offer".  I thought many of you might be interested in knowing that the
offer is apparently no longer valid. Apparently the site that was listing it did
not realize it would be so popular and when it was too popular, pulled it
from the site. I checked the Proquest site, after doing a search for "Proquest"
and apparently they are not running the free offer on that site. If anyone has
additional info about accessing this information, I would like to hear about
it. :-)

Thanks,

Got this on another list, but for all with the
Internet, it might be very good, as ProQuest appears
from this post, to have scanned in all the old New
York Times newspapers, and made the resulting archives
a pay service, but are offering it free for the next
about a month or so.  If you have NYC or adjacent NJ
research, look here.  Also some nearby counties as
well most likely.

Sorry about all the as, this has passed through
several hands before it got to me.



>>>| Here is a valuable resource for some things in New Jersey (and New York
City).  "The New York Times" is online free
until 15 Dec 2003, and then it will be  gone. This isn't just the index, but
every page, with most very readable!  You might be able to find NJ
information, obituaries, etc. It has the complete New York Times, (including the
classified) from 1851-2001


  It works like this:

First, go to http://riversideregionallibrary.org/



Second, click on "ProQuest Historical New York
Times"


Third, use the guest password here, which is:
welcome


Fourth, click on "ProQuest Historical New York
Times" again.


Fifth, you are now on the search screen -- try


Enjoy!
