PLATTSBURGH - Coverage has been extended for two Plattsburgh newspapers on the Northern New York Historical Newspapers website.

The gap of the "Plattsburgh Republican" between 1820 and 1866 on the NNY Historical Newspapers website has been filled with editions from 1811-1923. Unfortunately this paper was filmed badly from folded originals, so retrieval will not be as good as was hoped. The years 1924 to 1942 are in line to be added in the coming months.

Coverage of the "Plattsburgh Daily Press" has also been expanded. That title now extends from 1894 to 1942, when it combined with the "Plattsburgh Daily Republican" to form the currently published "Press- Republican."

These two newspapers join over 45 others with a total of more than 1,803,000 pages on the Northern New York Historical Newspapers site. There are over six newspapers from Clinton County. The site is provided free of charge to the public by the Northern New York Library Network (NNYLN) in Potsdam.
