Marylander and Herald, January 4, 1916, Princess Anne, from the Nabb Center digital collection<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It was only some 15 to 20 years ago that researchers were getting excited about being able to access the decennial census data on the World Wide Web.\u00a0 This digital information was going to make Investigations of the past so much easier as the e-schedules would be text searchable and the entire universe of census products would be available.<\/p>\n

Now that we are in the second decade of the 21st<\/sup> century, lots of added helpful data is often just a few keystrokes away, as the universe of online information expands rapidly.\u00a0 The document array is exploding exponentially now as for-profit online publishers and open source providers rush to make valuable research content available to a broader user base.<\/p>\n

I learned of another valuable online collection of newspapers at the Edward H. Nabb\u00a0Research Center for Delmarva History and Culture<\/a> at the Salisbury University, while doing a talk in Delmar. \u00a0This excellent special collections archives has created a strong group of online historical Delmarva newspapers. It consists of regional weeklies, spanning the years 1745 through 1922.<\/p>\n

In the online records group you will find 17 different newspaper serials from Lower Delaware and the mid\u00a0and Lower Shores of Maryland.\u00a0\u00a0 Titles include publications from Salisbury, Easton, Berlin, Snow Hill and elsewhere.\u00a0 The products are text searchable, and the queries yield PDFs of the pages.<\/p>\n

This was made possible, in part, by a grant from the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore.\u00a0 Howard, the president of the Delmar Historical and Art Society tipped me off about this great virtual research warehouse of serials as we talked about such matters.\u00a0 Thanks Howard and Thanks Nabb.<\/p>\n
