Chicago Tribune
I was searching the Google News Archive and found that it includes the Chicago Tribune! I don't have access to the ProQuest database which provides the full text of the Chicago Tribune, and when I tried searching the Chicago Tribune's own archives on their Web site, I found that the indexing is inadequate and you often cannot find what you are looking for even if you know it is there and have the date of publication, and the descriptions of the articles often do not give you enough information to know if they will be helpful. But if you search the Google News Archive, you can actually see a snippet of what is there and there will be a link to the article on the Chicago Tribune's Web site. You still have to pay for the article, but at least you will have a better idea of what is in it and will be able to find it by doing a search.

Do you have a library card? Does your local library offer ProQuest? I live in Woodridge and our library allows use online from home with our bar code from the card.

I live in New Jersey so can't access the Chicago Tribune from home here. I actually work in a library, but we only have the New York Times through ProQuest.

What are you looking for specifically? I can search for you and email you the PDFs if you want.

Thanks for the offer, but there isn't one specific thing that I'm looking for; I would be interested in anything I can find on my Chicago ancestors and their relatives, and that includes a lot of people! I have actually already found quite a few things by searching the Google News archive and then purchasing the PDFs. But thank you for the offer; I will keep it in mind!
