My name is Kenneth R Marks, and I reside in Sun City, Arizona. And I eagerly admit that I am an obsessed historic newspaper researcher.
I have been researching old historic newspapers for over 15 years and have found this pursuit one of the most satisfying ways to learn about the past - whether the newspaper articles record historical events, famous people or "everyday" people like many of our ancestors.
It is my intention with this website to share all of the resources and techniques that I use and have used to find those "hard to find" gems that help us discover the past.
My sincere hope is that you get the "old newspaper bug" and use the contents of this website to help you become the best newspaper researcher that you can be.
Whether you are a historian, a student researching an historical event for a school project, a genealogist or family historian trying to find articles about your ancestors, or searching just for fun, all of the resources in this site can help you. They all are intended to help you become a master newspaper researcher.

I am here for YOUIt is my personal belief that old historic newspapers are a very underutilized resource for history research, as an educational tool, and for genealogy and family history research. There are billions of stories already published. It is my goal to help you find them. And hopefully I can help create more newspaper fanatics, just like me. That is the mission of this website.
