Okay, I've managed to successfully pull down the full list of 154k titles.  

Is it okay to publish/share this list on other sites that compile various datasets, etc.?


Thank you!

Nathan/All,

 

 

 

 

 

Is there a similar all-encompassing-list available for the "U.S. Newspaper Directory, 1690-Present" ~154k titles?

 

 

 

thanks!
