Fred, no doubt, knows about the database called "Old Fulton NY Post
Cards". So this message is for other readers. The database now states
on its homepage: fultonhistory.com/Fulton.html the following:
[Begin excerpt]
Search Over 26,108,000 Old New York State Historical Newspaper Pages
[End excerpt]
The database is geographically constrained, but New York was and
remains a premier international cultural nexus. (Recently, I came
across a Duluth, Minnesota newspaper on the site.)
The interface is clumsy, and some researchers use Google to search the
site. After locating a page with a quotation the task of determining
the exact date and page number can be difficult.
