As of March 2021, a great new resource is now available in the AHS website’s For Researchers Section.
Chris Allan, a historian with the National Park Service who is well known for his extensive use of historic newspapers to research innovative subjects, has prepared a guide called “The Newspaper Bonanza: How to Discover Alaska’s Past in Newspaper Databases.”
With this guide, Chris hopes to stimulate others to undertake new investigations in the world of newspaper storytelling.
