What is Elephind.com?
With Elephind.com it is now possible for family historians, genealogists, and researchers to search historic digitized newspaper archives from around the globe. Elephind.com is much like Google, Bing, or other search engines but is focused on only historical, digitized newspapers. It enables you to search, for free, across many newspaper sites simultaneously, rather than having to visit each site separately. By clicking on the Elephind.com search result that interests you you'll go directly to the newspaper site which hosts that story.
Comments and Reviews
It's a very good search engine for old newspapers (ninteenth century to about 1950). It notably has a good selection of Australian newspapers as well as American papers. I have used it to good effect in researching the origins of Mother's Day and the work of a newspaper poet from the early twentieth century.
