Sounds like a fun gig! Do you mine microfiche archives or has most of the old stuff been archived online at this point?
I mostly use this site to look for things written about my little town, county and surrounding area.

We have LOADS of folks moving to Texas and I think it's really important for them to learn about the area and gain a little appreciation for the longtime residents. The newsletter acts as a bit of a local crash-course for knowing our local elected officials, getting connected to the homeschool and farm community, and learning the history of the area. Since so many people are moving to this general area, I want the newsletter to attract and repel the right kinds of people. Super liberal would be appalled at some of these articles while conservative minded people would really enjoy it. Trying to do what I can locally to project our small town culture.
Outstanding! I'm a homeschooling Texan, myself. ;)
Nice! I really enjoy being able to teach history without all the faggotry, I used to be a social studies teacher in public school and it was ridiculous. It's so freeing to be outta there.
