Colorado Historical Societies

Colorado Historical Societies has some very interesting links on this page
http://www.history.state.co.us/chs_Library/research_collections.htm .

I really enjoyed the Colorado’s Historic Newspaper Collection http://www.cdpheritage.org/ . You are given an option for dialup or broadband speed, kind of slow at dialup but worth it. You can search by County map, browse or search by newspaper & date. If you use the map it will tell you what papers are available in that county, then you have “Browse All” lets you chose a specific newspaper & date, and finally “Search All” you can use a keywords & you can limits your search to dates & newspapers.

http://photoswest.org has a collection of old photos, might be worth taking a look at. A lot of photos maybe you will find a little gem.
