What's happened to Chronicling America?  Has the site gone down?  I can't get it to do any search.

Hi,

I tried to search yesterday and got the message...."Chronicling America is currently offline,
undergoing maintenance." Got the same message just now.

Here is another way to access those newspapers and do a search. I think this may be the new look and format mentioned.
