OldNews.com is the best website for exploring historical newspapers from around the world. It is brought to you by MyHeritage, the leading global platform for discovering, preserving, and sharing family history.
In the past, you didn't have to be famous to appear in the newspaper. Every marriage, death, or newsworthy event of any size would be covered. More than any other type of historical record, old newspapers include rich stories about individuals, together with photos. They are an essential treasure for genealogists.
OldNews.com allows you to dig into this treasure trove by researching a digital archive containing hundreds of millions of pages from historical newspapers from the U.S., Canada, the U.K., the Netherlands, Australia, and more.
Using optical character recognition (OCR) technology, newspaper pages on OldNews.com are transcribed for easy reading. When viewing a newspaper page, the name of the person you searched for will be highlighted. That way, you can clearly read what is written on the image and see where the information appears on the newspaper page.
