>>Thomas Jefferson
I have no idea if anyone has any interest in it, but I collect original newspapers from the 1700s and 1800s, so I have quite a few with articles signed George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and such. If there’s an interest, I could put some scans up into my website. I got into collecting because back when I was trying to find the poetry by Henry Livingston, NY State used to send me newspaper microfilms and husband got me a huge microfilm reader that would scan into the computer. From early morning to late at night, for one whole year, I lived in a time when George Washington was spoken of in the present tense. Now I just read the newspaper archives to which I subscribe.
That would be wonderful.
What are the subscription charges for these sites? I can think of a number of interesting “fair use” cases for quoting them from time to time.
