a pay service, but are offering it free for the next
about a month or so. If you have NYC or adjacent NJ
research, look here. Also some nearby counties as

orkCity). "The New York Times" is online free
until 15 Dec 2003, and then it will be gone. This isn't just the index

every page, with most very readable! You might be able to find NJ
information, obituaries, etc. It has the complete New York Times,

It works like this:
First, go to

Second, click on "ProQuest Historical New York Times"
Third, use the guest password here, which is welcome
Fourth, click on "ProQuest Historical New York Times" again.
Fifth, you are now on the search screen -- try
