Description

Try OldNews USA - the app that won the RootsTech 2017 Innovator Showdown!

Designed for both genealogists and history enthusiasts, OldNews USA makes getting started with historical newspaper research easier than ever. With OldNews USA, you can quickly discover interesting stories and articles in historical US newspapers, using the Library of Congress Chronicling America collection of over 15 million newspaper pages from 1789 to 1963.

With OldNews USA, you begin by entering who or what you are looking for. If you want to find articles about a person, all you need to enter is a name, a date range, and a location.

OldNews USA uses this information to automatically suggest the newspapers that are most likely to contain articles about your person. Furthermore, it automatically creates search suggestions that you can use to populate the advanced search screens, without any additional data entry. The list of search suggestions contains variations of the person's name, since you never know how the name may appear in the newspaper. All you need to do is select a search suggestion and go!

When you view a newspaper page, you can view each highlighted search term by tapping the screen. The app will automatically zoom in to the next matching term each time you tap the screen. When you review the last search term, the app tells you that you reviewed all matches. When you compare this experience to using a web browser, you will never want to use a web browser for newspaper research again!

Genealogists and historians will love these advanced research features:
* Enable automatic reseach logging for a Goal, which saves every search, page view, and action to a research log, which can be exported as a csv file for easy import into your favorite spreadsheet app
* Automatically generated source citation for every page that you save
* Save your discoveries and citations to DropBox, Google Drive, Evernote, or any other app of your choosing
* Research dashboard that preserves the context of your research, making it easy to pick up where you last left off

OldNews USA includes a database of all the newspaper titles available on the Chronicling America site. Searching this data is fast, since it is part of the app and always available on your device.

OldNews USA is free to use, including all research features. If you like the app, please make an in-app purchase to support continued development.

Find your family in old newspapers using OldNews USA, and discover stories that have been lost to history!

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

3 ★It's okay but for premium you are simply paying for a convenience. It lets you clip article sections and share. That's nice. It uses the Chronicling America site and only goes through 1924. Wish it went further out. Google News archives is better for lengthier searches.
1 ★Don't waste your time on this junk app. This app tries to get money for nothing. I searched a known event the 1st search and it says nothing found. I'm sure it won't until I exhaust my free trial searches. I'm done! Uninstall..
5 ★I have used Chronicling America before, this makes it so much easier! Multiple ways to search, you can have searched saved, saved your last searches.* Only 1 bad thing. The dates numbers are so small I can't read them without magnifying glass. *
5 ★I love this app it makes it so easy to find ancestors in newspapers. It is a big plus for family history research
2 ★I can't understand why this app won at rootstech. There's no improvement over the searches at Chronicling - it's just putting more emphasis on first names in your search.
5 ★Great tool for finding newspapers that are nearby where my ancestors lived. Also includes a research log to keep track of searches. Thank you!!!
5 ★This app was very helpful in tracking down family members through newspaper references. Very easy to choose location, names, phrases, etc.
5 ★Very easy to search and save search queries.
5 ★Great app, makes it easy to get started with newspaper research and has many features that minimize data entry. Tap to zoom and review keyword matches is great.
1 ★Won't open any newspaper articles. No use if I can't retrieve the articles. Uninstalling.
1 ★They dont have no town i wanted to look at ther newspaper. And the years were 1800 to 1922
1 ★Worthless.
