Subject: [NYHIST-L] Fulton NY Man Digitizes 22 Million Historic Newspaper Pages

Here's a new story (video plus article) at Reason.com about Tom Tryniski's Fultonhistory.com, which I'm sure many people on this list are familiar with. Tryniski has digitized 22 million newspaper pages, primarily from New York papers. His site is getting about 6 million monthly views.
