Newspaper Research

[NW Mailing List]

Stephen Warren, in the thread about Rorer Iron et al, said, " I'm only now
finishing up with the existing 1886 newspapers where F. Rorer has gone
bankrupt, having left the state as his assets are being sold off. . . .
I've run out of newspapers at the Virginia Room library, so I'm going to
have to get creative while I look for more information on the financial
story of Rorer Iron Company."

A great resource that can be used from the comfort of your home is the
Virginia Chronicle project set up by the Library of Virginia (
https://virginiachronicle.com/). Newspapers (and various newsletters) have
been collected, scanned, and digitized. "This collection contains 135,306
issues comprising 1,042,542 pages and 183,885 articles."
