    Today is the 2nd anniversary of my fathers passing and I am trying to dig up some old articles from his hay day to show my ol lady and son.

    I am looking for a free site that has archived newspaper articles (redundancy ftw). Chicago in particular. I googled and looked through a few sites but no luck. Just wondering if anyone out there knows of any good sites or other options pertaining to getting archived material.

    Much appreciation.

    you should def contact libraries, they have old issues and microfiche/film. you could also contact the papers themselves to see if someone can do a search or if theyhave an archive section. I would assume most old stuff isn't online but they keep all the old stuff somewhere. not as easy and fun as online but maybe a live person could help. glglgl sorry for your loss
