Thank you all so much for your help and advice regarding Newspaper
Archive (NA). I’m trying to take in all that has been said. This
morning I posted to the five lists that I subscribe to and have gotten
many wonderful suggestions.
One lister suggested that I check with my local library to see if they
have NA available for patrons. Unfortunately, our two local library
systems do not provide this service.
Some of you have mentioned that Ancestry and NA kind-of overlap each
other. I have found this to be true. I have also found that their two
search engines leave something to be desired. Still, I have made huge
gains in my research from my subscription to Ancestry and have found a
few important articles on NA.
After several people mentioned writing to NA and complaining about
their rate changes and other problems, I decided to write and ask the
reason that they are doubling my subscription rate. I should have done
that in the first place.
If they quote me a more reasonable rate, I think I will consider
continuing my subscription. I just don’t think the rate increase from
$59.99 to $119.88 in one year is reasonable!
Thanks one and all!

Does anyone else subscribe to NEWSPAPER ARCHIVE?
I've just gotten a notice that it's time to renew my subscription
(which will be done automatically unless I un-subscribe).
The rate last year was $59.99 (full membership)
This year it is $119.88 (full membership)
That's quite an increase!!!
I'm trying to decide whether it's really worth it to me. Realizing
that this is a decision that I will have to make myself, it would
still help me to get some feedback from the group.
What are your thoughts?
Priscilla
