I have a question about how to find or access old newspaper articles. My husband's father did a long canoe trip from Reading, PA to Florida in 1937/1938. We are transcribing his diary now for family members to be able to read and know that along the way the Reading papers, Newport News, and Charleston and possibly others wrote articles about the trip. We have some of these but specifically I am looking for an article mentioned in the diary that was in the Newport News paper. I don't know if this was the Daily Press (if it was in existence then) or not and was wondering if anyone knows if these might be online somewhere or if a trip to a local library might be in order. I don't live in that area but have some family that still does so might be able to get down there at some point. I've checked on ProQuest and they seem to have only Washington Post, New York Times and Chicago Tribune articles, and not many that old. Any other possible places to look online?
Thanks,
Beth
