Montreal newspaper
I'm looking to verify info on a 1969 blues concert in Montreal. What newspapers have a good online archive and might cover it? trespassers william (talk) 00:30, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
 * A number of newspapers which existed at the time have gone defunct e.g. the Montreal Star or Montréal-Matin, but La Presse, the Montreal Gazette and Le Journal de Montreal are still around. Others went out of business before the internet age, so it's unlikely someone has digitized their archives. I don't think any of the current papers have searchable archives dating back to 1969, however. You would likely need the help of a library with microfilm archives. --Xuxl (talk) 09:20, 12 June 2015 (UTC)


 * The Gazette is actually archived on Google News - here (you'll have to type in 1969 in the "date" box to get to that year). There are no archives for May and October, but the other months seem to be complete. Adam Bishop (talk) 13:47, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
