Comparing the U.S. Newspaper Giants. Over a billion digitized newspaper pages are searchable at online historical newspaper archives such as Chronicling America, Fulton History, GenealogyBank, NewspaperArchive and Newspapers.com. But which should you use? Is it worth subscribing to one of the premium sites? Learn how they stack up for total amount of digitized content; geographic coverage; unique features and tools; subscription options; and more, including Jewish content. My tips, encouragement, and comparative analyses will help you more confidently choose and use newspaper websites.

Judaica Provenance: Historical Gold and Genealogical Treasures. Jews truly are, “The People of the Book.” From original incunabula and 16th century works, to prolific publishing in the Pale of Settlement, and the most extensive looting of books in the history of humankind—books have followed Jews everywhere, and to some extent, we have followed them. In this talk,
“The Other Ellis Island: Jewish Immigration Through Galveston, Texas.” Between 1907 and 1914, nearly 10,000 Eastern European Jews entered the United States through the port at Galveston, Texas rather than through Ellis Island.
