A Newspaper Perspective consists of major articles published between 1860 and 1865 in The New York Herald, Charleston Mercury and Richmond Enquirer. Readers get both the Union and the Confederacy points of view. More than 12,000 articles and 700 maps may be accessed. The collection eventually will include more than 50 titles and is the largest project of its kind ever attempted. More than 27,000 full-text transcriptions of articles, advertisements and vital statistics provide insight into technology and business activity.
Material is taken from six Pennsylvania newspapers.
The Pennsylvania Genealogical Catalogue, Chester County, 1809-1870 is primarily a listing of marriages, deaths and obituaries from the Village Record, published in West Chester, Pennsylvania.
