Exploring Historical Newspapers with Newspaper Finder – An Interview with Mitchell Lewis and Matt Wheeler
Q: Can you walk us through how the site works and how a researcher would use it?
The user can search by time range and country, then zoom in on a map to see which newspapers exist in a specific area. If a paper isn't available locally, the map shows nearby papers and cross-referenced sources, helping researchers identify likely alternatives and understand coverage history.
Exploring Historical Newspapers with Newspaper Finder – An Interview with Mitchell Lewis and Matt Wheeler
Q: What inspired you to take on this project and what problems does it solve for genealogists?
We were frustrated by the fragmentation of newspaper data across many sites and the lack of a unified way to discover which papers exist in a given place and time. Newspaper Finder consolidates those sources, making it easier to locate relevant titles and understand geographic coverage and time spans.

Q: Can you share a notable real-world example?
