Newspapers

Emma’s topic for Emma Explores this month is Newspapers, and specifically what she’s discovered about her own family from print publications. In our 24 episodes for Projectkin, Emma’s previously touched on print, but that was in the context of William Edward Cox (1809-1879) and his career in publishing and advertising:

Or her discussion of a society wedding with powerful newspaper-found tidbits from her personal publication:

This time, we’ll focus on using newspapers and magazines in your research. We’ll cover where to find them, what to look for, how to store what you find, and, importantly, how not to get lost!

Emma will also treat us to a few surprises from her family tree, plus techniques and resources you can use in your own research.
