New Editions to Digital Newspaper Collections, and Photos of NYC buildings, circa 1940

     Elephind.com , a free historic newspaper archive, has added the Hoosier State Chronicles  collection, containing 137,198 issues(almost 1.2 millions pages) of Indiana newspapers.
     The always growing Georgia Historic Newspaper database will be adding a variety of  new papers in the coming year.
    Beginning in 1939, the city of New York sent photographers around all five Boroughs to take photographs of every building for tax assessment purposes. The photographs were digitized in 2018, but the collection was difficult to navigate. An article, including a  link to the improved database. is here. All the photos were taken between 1939-1941. source: ResearchBuzz
