Today's Challenge
We are now on Day #14. How many of you have been with us for the entire 2 weeks? Today’s challenge is to research international newspapers. My favorite site to find online newspaper collections is Wikipedia’s List of Online Newspaper Archives (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_online_newspaper_archives).
Hints
This one is pretty easy but make sure you are looking in the right countries for the newspapers.
Question #1. Using Wikipedia’s List of Online Newspaper Archives, find the newspaper archives for Quebec. How many newspaper titles are listed for the Canadiana Discovery Portal?
Question #2. Check out the newspapers for Ohio. What range of years is available for the Minster Post?
Question #3. Find the newspaper titled “Manx Cat”. What region was this paper published?
Question #4. Which Irish newspaper was published from 1905-1909?
Question #5. How many newspapers are included in the Cuba collection?
Bonus Question (optional). Find the National Library of Australia Collection. Search the collection to find out what Mr. Bielefeld did with papier mache.
Comments. What did you think of this task? Was it too easy? Too difficult? Just right? Did you have fun exploring the Wikipedia List of Online Newspaper Archives website?
