Hello,
One of the reasons why I find PapersPast the most user friendly site for newspaper research. Have not used the UK and Au ones as much, but have done hundreds of hours of research on PP, from the comfort of my office chair.
Love their options of up to 100 results listings per page, plus the date sort option as opposed to "best match". Also; ease of switching between text recognition and actual print views; plus ease of copy and pasting of that print which is of interest from a long column of captured print.
Beats the hours of travelling to, and then hours spent finding your way around a new to you archive, be it a Family History one, University, Museum, Government Department or civil Library etc as I did with my research in he late 70's and 1980's. My last such experience being 12 days though the Autumn of 2009 at MOTAT researching their archive of magazines, which I doubt will ever get on line.
Go the PaspersPast team.
Keep up your excellent work.
- Alan.
