The Clarke Historical Library and the CMU Libraries have worked hard over the past several years to make historic Michigan newspapers freely available on-line. We will continue to add more titles to CONDOR, our historic document database, in the future. As CONDOR continues to grow and become more complex (there are now over 15 titles from seven different Michigan counties - not counting all of the historic Central Michigan University documents!), using CONDOR can be a little tricky. Fortunately, Tran Longmoore of the Saline Post wrote a helpful piece full of tips and tricks to make searching in CONDOR as efficient as possible. Here is a link to Tran's article.
With these helpful ideas, CONDOR can be an even more powerful tool for all of your historical research. If you have any other helpful suggestions for using CONDOR, let the Clarke know and we might be able to share them on the Clarke News and Notes blog in the future.
