In February 2017, I started publishing a list of the catalog of online historical newspapers from over 400 different collections put together by the Advantage Archives Company, developed in conjunction with the libraries, historical societies, and museums across the U.S. that preserve the historical newspapers for their communities. The list has grown a lot since then. Now there are over 800 collections – a 100% percent growth in five years.
