happy eclipse Moonday!

With the upcoming solar eclipse, we were interested in what might have been written the last time a total eclipse occurred, which was January 24, 1925. Here are just a couple of articles we found in the historical Cuba, NY newspapers that have been digitized and are now available on NYS Historic Newspapers. They have now completed digitization up through 1994 of the various versions of Cuba's Patriot Newspaper. These newspapers, and others on the website, are searchable by keyword and can be limited by date, publication, county, and city. As you can see, the readability is dependent on the quality of the original microfiche. The digitized newspapers can be found at https://nyshistoricnewspapers.org/

This is an ongoing project, funded through a grant from the South Central Regional Library Council. Check out the website to explore the Amateur Courier (1877 – 1878), Cuba Daily News (1880 – 1881), Cuba Evening Review (Aug 1881 – 1882), Cuba True Patriot (1862-1872), Cuba Patriot (1875-1908), Cuba Patriot Free Press (1909-1914), Cuba Patriot (1914-1920), Cuba Patriot Free Press 1920-1962, The Cuba Patriot (1962 - 1972), Patriot and Free Press (1973 - 1981), Cuba Patriot and Free Press (1981-1993), & New Patriot (1994). If you find something cool, be sure to share it with us!
