Today i couldnt access the Chicago tribune archives unless i pay for it. Well they can obviously suck my balls since through the years I managed to copy 90% of everything mob related out of reasons such as this one MUAHAHAHAHAHA

That's too bad. It was nice while it lasted.

For what its worth, I wanted to add Trove to the list. Its handy for searching old newspapers, especially in regards to Down Under, but also can be set to worldwide.

I think it also worth mentioning that I have found that searching in Italian language sources has been a game changer; there is online access to a number of journals and periodicals, as well as court records province by province.

Also, what we do here is share knowledge and expertise, right? I want to make the point that, within reason, a member of the forum should be able to raise points, questions, etc with members that are in a position to help. I mean, if a NY guy wanted to bounce things off, say, a Philly guy regarding certain figures, events, whatever, if the Philly guys got the time, he's gonna respond right? Same sorta shit if it was an American guy, Sicilian guy, Canadian, ad nauseum.

I mean, you guys know me. These days I still follow LCN, but I'm currently in the process of researching a bunch of newer Australian 'ndrangheta shit. I know it's not primary interest here, but I post it because it's the best forum, I want to be affiliated with The Black Hand, and I'm happy to share with the 2 or 3 dudes that sort of dig it.

A download for the first book on Capone is priceless to me. Thanks Rick this is an awesome list.

NewYork times has got a fuck ton of Mafia related and just Organized crime related stuff. I’ve gathered loads of pages over the years. However, very difficult to share as they only allow non-subscribers (unpaid readers) I think approximately five readable pages at a time. So it makes sharing these newspaper articles difficult.

We got ways around that, go ahead and share them.
