As shown by surveys
conducted by the National Library of Australia, the
California Digital Newspaper Collection, the Cambridge
Public Library, and others, historical newspapers are an
important source of information for genealogists. Not coincidentally,
the IFLA International Newspaper Conference will be held
just prior to the 2014 RootsTech Family History and
Technology Conference Feb 6-8 (https://rootstech.org/). We encourage
authors and conference attendees to consider attending
RootsTech as well as the International Newspaper
Conference.
