GenealogyBank, known for its historical newspaper and obituary collections, adds new records on a regular basis, but this week has been especially busy, with millions of new newspaper records and documents added to the subscription-based site. On Tuesday, over 4 million new historical newspaper records and documents from 24 states were added, and then today GenealogyBank launched a Hispanic Newspapers collection, beginning with 20 titles from 4 states (Indiana, Missouri, New Mexico and Texas) covering the years 1855 to 1956. The entire collection of Hispanic newspapers will eventually span 1808-1980. These new records bring the total document count at GenealogyBank to over 221 million!

GenealogyBank records are only available through a subscription, but a 30-day trial is currently available for $9.95.
