Update: Random web address opened a town history archive
I was trying to remember old websites and one brought up scanned newspapers from the 1920s. This archive doesn't show up in searches, so I came across it myself.

Actually it probably does show up in searches, just not easily. A lot of those old scanned archives are buried because their website code is a mess. Try the search with the exact newspaper name and the year, that sometimes digs them up.

Have you found any search tricks that work better than others for this?

Back in 2003, my cousin scanned a bunch of our family reunion photos and put them on some free hosting site. I swear that site is a ghost now. @margaretr26 is right about the messy code thing, because I can sometimes see the blurry thumbnail in a search but the link is just broken. It's like the internet just swallows stuff whole after a while. You ever find a page that says it has your answer but it's just a blank white screen?
