Elephind: What it is and why it can be useful.

Elephind is a free online newspaper search engine that indexes millions of digitized newspaper pages from libraries, archives, and institutions around the world. It allows genealogists to search across multiple newspaper collections at once — rather than visiting each archive separately.

This YouTube video, posted by Family Tree Magazine,  gives a helpful introduction to how Elephind works. It walks through:

  • How to search by name or place

  • What types of results to expect

  • How to click through to the full newspaper page
