Free Online Newspapers

I have talked about ICON in the past "ICON: International Coalition on Newspapers", and "Newspapers On The Library of Congress Website". Rede has been working on some tutorials on how to use free online newspapers. ICON is a great place to start http://icon.crl.edu/digitization.htm . If anyone has problems using any of links off ICON maybe he can make another tutorial video on it.
