"Content from the Miami Citizen (1938-1949), Mami Labor Citizen (1949-1956) and the Labor Citizen (1956-1959) have been digitized and are live in Chronicling America! Miami’s Central Labor Union decided to begin publishing a newspaper in March 1918, due to lack of publicity in the Miami Herald and the Miami Daily Metropolis. '

#Labour's Rachel #Reeves refuses to speak to Scottish #newspapers during visit to Scotland

Chancellor’s sleekit visit to #whisky #distillery in East #Lothian lasted long enough to take a lengthy tour but simply not long enough for her to spare even a moment for #Scotland’s print #press.

An invite had been sent around to an extremely select few newspapers late on Tuesday night, but it was swiftly rescinded on Wednesday morning.

Hurting more people is worse

Golda was Ukrainian, but Feinstein actually was local…

but allegedly not 23 … nobody currently thinks he was 23?

sex seems to be "31" … probably "M" but looks more like 31

Update. "One of California’s largest collections of history could go dark."
sfgate.com/local/article/calif

"One of #California’s largest collections of digitized #newspapers, going back nearly 200 years and spanning approximately 54 million articles, could disappear due to gutted state #funding. The unexpected news has delivered a heavy blow to historians, journalists, researchers and educators who rely on the archives for their work…The California Digital Newspapers Collection, housed at UC Riverside’s Center for Bibliographical Studies and Research, said on its website that its future “is in jeopardy” after…its budget was completely decimated, leaving [it] with just a few weeks to source $300,000 or face the possibility of getting shut down."

נאריש זשלאָב מענטש

"More than 40 years after the death of Chaim Grade – whom Elie Wiesel called “one of the great, if not the greatest, contemporary #Yiddish #novelists” – an English #translation by Rose Waldman of Grade’s final, unfinished work has been published.

Born in #Vilna, #Lithuania, Grade resettled in #NewYork after his wife and mother were murdered during the Holocaust. The #author of The Yeshiva, The Agunah, and Rabbis and Wives, among other #books, Grade wrote a series of #stories in the 1960s and ’70s that appeared in Yiddish #newspapers. He was converting them into a #novel when he died in 1982."

In 2005, the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) & the Library of Congress (LoC) launched the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP), the program that supports Chronicling America.
Now LoC is excited to announce a new effort to reprocess some of the newspapers digitized in the early years of the program.
See an example of one small article at the blog post.
