Every day, GenealogyBank is working hard to digitize more newspapers and obituaries, expanding our collection to give you the largest newspaper archives for family history research available online. We just completed adding new content from 112 newspaper titles, increasing our content coverage from coast to coast.

As a special feature of this month’s addition, to help celebrate February being Black History Month, 73 of this month’s titles are African American newspapers.

Here are some of the details about our most recent U.S. newspaper additions:

To make your research easier, we’re presenting this month’s addition in two separate lists. The first list are non-African American newspapers, and the second list are the 73 African American newspapers.
