Chronicling America at the Library of Congress has updated its digital newspaper database with the inclusion of two historic Salem County newspapers: The Monitor<\/a> and the Monitor-Register<\/a>. These Woodstown, NJ papers, spanning 1884 to 1925, are now digitally accessible for historical and family history research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The publications were successfully added through the New Jersey Digital Newspaper Project<\/a> (NJDNP), a partnership involving Rutgers University Libraries, New Jersey State Archives, and New Jersey State Library. These institutions worked together to ensure this valuable resource was accessible to the public for free through a text-searchable database. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This collaboration followed their previous contribution to the online resources for Salem County when they added the Penns Grove Record<\/a> in 2021. The record, which started publishing in 1865, covers 1882 to 1923.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Researchers now have an invaluable, free tool to explore various aspects of South Jersey history.\u00a0 The Salem County periodicals provide a window into politics, culture, business, religion, and daily events that shaped everyday life over the generations.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NJDNP has over 40 newspapers from all parts of the Graden State available online. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The comprehensive access provided by Chronicling America at the Library of Congress makes it easier than ever before for historians, genealogists, students, and anyone to delve into the rich history of South Jersey and unlock a treasure trove of information about family and local history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
