Welcome to the June, 2025 edition of our monthly newsletter. Thanks to everyone who responded to our question concerning the unrecorded issue of “The People“.

INVITATION (revisited)

One of the regular series found on our blog is “SNAPSHOT – YYYY”, where the “Y’s” represent a specific year. The concept is to highlight unusual, unknown, or highly significant events from a particular year. If after perusing the already posted entries you are inspired to share one or more of your own newspapers which you believe would fit in this series, please send a photo and a brief description to me at guy@rarenewspapers.com. Also include whether you would like to be identified (we include your initials, town, and state). Thanks.
