Historical newspapers and heirlooms

Just thought I'd pass on this site for anyone who interest in checking out heirloom history etc.

I use this site for research using varieties, the libraries have digitized newspapers from 1839 - present. I find the info fascinating since I'm from the area the newspaper database is referring to - it's a double plus.

(I also searched all the threads and did not see a post regarding this - thanks Raybo!)

The paper is a joint effort between NY state and historical societies.

FYI, the aggregate search is slow today - the "Brooklyn Daily Eagle" seems to be fine.
