Veridian Digital Library….
Oh My God….I have truly died and gone to heaven.
Have you heard of the Veridian Digital Library? No? Well, then sit next to me, my pretty. Well I guess it actually is the California Digital Newspaper Collection powered by the Veridian Digital Library but really… who the hell cares?
They have most of the major newspapers in California going back and I mean waaaaaaay back. I was able to download PDF files of the Alta California, one of the San Francisco papers, for all of 1850. Really. What amazing reading that is! Even if I were not writing a book I could totally lose myself in these papers.
The California Star and Ledger, the Placer Times check it out…..Really.
Too cool, much too cool.
