Thanks, Terri. I have used the Library of Congress for other things but I didn't know about the newspapers! I can't wait to look :)

Granted, it was a limited access deal, but Ancestry and GenealogyBank offer ***much*** more. I found a few things on WVR that weren't on Ancestry or GenealogyBank but not too much. WVR may be a good option ***instead of** Ancestry and GenealogyBank but, IMO, there is just too much duplication. Look over the site carefully and do a couple of searches before you make your decision. Your local Family History Center or library may have access to WVR so you could "test drive", so to speak. BTW, if you are looking for historic newspapers don't forget about the Library of Congress. They have a small-town newspaper collection on their website.

Is it worth it to me to get WorldVitalRecords? What unique collections do they have? Most of my research is in the US with some in Germany. I have virtually none in the UK.
