Hi folks,
Here is a really great site to keep your eyes on. Not too much for
Virginia as yet, but its only been going a few months.

In the 5 months since the Newspaper Abstracts site opened it has really taken
off. To date we have had over 18,000 visitors and 78 MB of data in over
1,600 pages with plenty of room for more!
Some may have noticed that the site has now moved. A project this size
deserved its own spot on the web and can now be found at:
http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com/
The off-site links have been moved from the individual county page to the
state page - just scroll to the bottom of the county listings. This move
makes it a little easier to find the links and for me to keep them updated.
A form has also been added for you to submit links to newspaper clippings you
may have on your site. This form is at:
http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com/submitlinks.html
There is also a new announcement only list for those that just want to keep
up to date with the additions to the site but not necessarily receive all the
submissions. Each Monday one email goes out noting the additions to the site
in the previous week. It will list the state, county, year and month only -
not the actual articles. If you wish to subscribe to this list send a blank
email to:
Newspaper-Updates-subscribe(a)topica.com
Many books have also been published with information extracted from
newspapers. I would like to begin adding this information to the site so if
you have newspaper related books you have published or know of someone who
does, please contact me.
Caution - Call for volunteers below!
I am looking for someone who is good at making banners and logos. I have
searched the web but cannot seem to find anything that fits our site and my
graphics program is relatively worthless. Anyone on the list willing to make
a few for us to use on the site?
I could also use some straight-forward instructions on how to set up Eudora
Light for Macintosh to use with a POP account that goes with the new web
site. I must confess it has me all confused at the moment.
Occasionally I have individuals send me .doc attachments with transcribed
articles inside. My Mac computer is 5 years old and will not open these
documents. Is anyone willing to open these attachments for me, cut & paste
into an email and send them back thru the list? I currently have 15 such
attachments that I cannot open.
And last but not least, I need several volunteers to transcribe newspaper
articles from my copies. Life as a wife, mother, home daycare operator,
craft business and cub scout leader, along with my own research and keeping
the site updated is keeping me very busy and I could use a little help. Any
transcription volunteers??
Thank you to all who have contributed to the success of this site. It could
not have taken off so well without you! At this rate just imagine what we
can accomplish by our first anniversary!!
Have a wonderful week,
Barbara Freeman
