An independent historian in Long Island, Vincent Seyfried, is 10 years into
an abstract/index of the 3 dozen or so Queens newspapers published in the
19th century.  This is on a strictly volunteer basis, with no "funding" and
little recognition.

Is any subscriber familar with similar projects in New York State or
elsewhere?
In New York City (five boroughs), we have two principal existing newspaper
indices, the Times (1851-present) and the Tribune (1875-1906), plus several
other more limited efforts.
