Digitized Newspapers
I am always excited when my coworker Natasha Hollenbach tells me that she's completed uploading new newspapers to Montana Newspapers or Chronicling America. The newest additions to Montana Newspapers bring the total of free digitized pages available to over 1.15 million!
New titles/available date ranges include:
- Belt Valley Times from 1964 to 1977.
- The River Press (Fort Benton) up through 2010.
- The Poplar Shopper from 1970 to 2001 (the full run)
- The Char-Koosta News from 1985 to 2014
- And 656 pages of 5 newspapers from Castle (all that remain): The Castle Mining Reporter, The Castle News, Castle Reporter, Castle Tribune, and The Whole Truth.

End of Year Survey
Don't forget to complete the year-end survey. You might win a prize. You will certainly enjoy that good feeling of helping out your fellow teachers by providing feedback to make Teaching Montana History better and especially by sharing a favorite resource/go-to lesson.
