Editor's Notes

  1. One thing we will need to keep in mind is that the search tool searches the TEXT of the newspaper. Why do you think that’s important to know? Answer: People didn’t write or speak the same as we do today. Technology that we have today didn’t exist back then. For example, you won’t find anything for a computer or television.
  2. Let’s look at the Search Pages tab. Try clicking on the first box that says “All States.” When you do, a list of states with historic newspaper content appears. Can you find Vermont? Next to it, there are year ranges. You can pick a certain year range depending on what you are looking for. When might you restrict the year range? In the box over one, you can enter your keyword search words. For example, if you’re looking for furniture, you would type in furniture here.
  3. Let’s try a search together as a class. First, find the state of Vermont and select it from the list. Second, let’s leave the year range as it is. Third, let’s enter the world “library” in to the search box. When you’re ready press go.
  4. We got a lot of results. The red on each newspaper page shows where the word “library” was found in the text.
  5. Let’s click on a result on this page and explore how you look at the newspaper page. Zoom in and out with the + and – buttons on the top, or use your mouse. If using a touchscreen, you can use your fingers to do this. Can you read the text? Next to that, the “Image” button shows that you are on page 3 of 8 pages for that newspaper issue. You can switch pages by using the arrows on the “Page” buttons. Let’s take some time to test out some of these features.
  6. So, once you’ve found something interesting on this page, there are some ways to save it and print it. [You can also save it as a PDF or JP2 (a fancy jpeg). For students, the clipping tool will probably be fine.] Zoom into something interesting and keep an eye on the red box at the corner of the screen. This shows what will be clipped. Now, click on the scissor tool up at the corner of the screen. The image will open up to a new tab, from which you can save, download, or print the image. For now, let’s just go back to the homepage (chroniclingamerica.loc.gov)
  7. [Depending on the age of students, you can quickly skip over this. For most students, the simple search will be the most relevant and used.] Here you can search by state, specific newspaper (say if you were looking in a certain town), by year or date range. You can also try a variety of search terms. You can also search by language. Give students an opportunity to test this page out if time allows.
