Talk:User group meeting & agenda 6 January 2009

PaperofRecord.com and similar newspaper archiving websites.
Given discussions regarding how to set up pages discussing various record types, and the Maryland Newspapers page, I mentioned on 30 December 2008 a new site called 'Paper of Record' at http://www.paperofrecord.com/.

This site was recently acquired by Google but remains independent of Google at the present time. Claims to have in its early stages over 21 million pages from a number of newspapers, and hopes to have substantially more than that.

What should be done when citing pages from this and other newspaper archiving sites, for example? We will need to be able to direct people to particular collections on these larger sites that are out there, and there will need to be a way to backlink to individual collections or papers on those sites. This is routinely done for finding particular places using Google Maps, but newspaper archiving sites are relatively newer and somewhat more obscure than mapping sites and similar things.
