Digitization of Indiana Black Newspapers

Great news was reported by the Indianapolis Recorder, oldest Black Newspaper in Indiana. (To be transparent I am a guest columnist for the Indianapolis Recorder, I was not paid for this piece.)

See  https://indianapolisrecorder.com/howard-university-receives-2m-to-digitize-black-newspaper-archive/ for more information on that particular article

I’ve written about my successes in finding information concerning several family members through the newspaper.  Newspapers are a treasure trove of information for individuals as well as locales. A newspaper search should be placed in your genealogical toolkit.

From the Indianapolis Recorder

Happy Hunting!

I am a part-time blogger and a full time observer of people and culture. I have been researching my family history for over 20 years. I previously served as President and President-Elect (Vice-President) of the Indiana African American Genealogy Group (IAAGG). I am currently the Central District Director of the Indiana Genealogical Society. I’ve conducted genealogy lectures and training's for corporate organizations and family history centers. I have researched my maternal and paternal sides going back 7 generations. With all that work, there is still more to discover. My current genealogical goals are to submit to libraries and history centers, family history books covering several of my family lines. I am available for consultations and speaking engagements.
