Hey y'all,
I have a question about how someone might conduct research in the 1920s. My MC is a journalist in Boston in 1926. She wants to investigate alcohol poisonings both in Boston and in other cities like New York. How would she find recent articles from other papers, especially those printed out of state? Would a trip to NYC be involved or could she go to the Boston Public Library and see if they had archived the New York Times? Do they archive things even if they are recent?
Much appreciated. Thanks.
