Efficiencies for researchers continue evolving at a rapid pace as important resources are digitized, allowing the materials to move beyond the confines of libraries, historical societies, and archives.\u00a0 These open sourced, easily accessible collections on the web, greatly enhance our ability to study the past, as often untapped materials are available on-demand from a classroom, office, or home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current evolution is in the area of newspapers as an untold number of old, yellowing pages are digitized and rolled into databases each month so scholars, students, genealogist, and curious types may have easy access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, a new newspaper search engine, Elephind.com,<\/a> is helping with this by providing one specialized Google-type site for querying newspapers from many collections.\u00a0 Until recently the search required knowing which place to surf over to in order to dig into the collections.\u00a0 With this service, it is possible to search digital newspapers collections from around the globe in aggregate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elephind has just launched so this new web portal is in the early stage of its growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
