Today’s month and day through the eyes of Rare & Early Newspapers… 9/26 edition…

Today I came across a previous post [1] in which we showed the readers of the History’s Newsstand Blog how to use the Timothy Hughes Rare & Early Newspapers advanced search interface to explore available newspapers for any given day and month, which made me wonder which day on a calendar has had the most interesting news reports over time. Of course the answer would be quite subjective, but it did motivate me to run a search for today’s date:

September 26th [2]

The results were more varied (and interesting) than I was expecting. Feel free to try a date which has special meaning to you to see what you might find. If you are not sure how to do this, go to: Exploring “This Day in History” through Rare & Early Newspapers [1]

If you discover a date which you find to be pregnant with interesting news, feel free to let me know at guy@rarenewspapers.com [3]. Thanks.
