Sorry, i see my last question wasnt specific enough. The article has to be both at the time of the WW1 Arab revolt and on the event itself. As well as having come from a central power country

In reply to Ronald L. Melichar.

Thanks but I finally located a reference to the location of the American Boy’s Club in Paris. I read it was located on rue Paul Séjourné, but no number was given. Walking the street gave no clue because only one building faced onto rue Paul Séjourné, and it was numbered “1” and was obviously from the twentieth century. Recently I found a contemporary account of the club and the number 131 was mentioned as the number over the door of the club. The mystery was solved when I found an account that explained that the rue Paul Séjourné was created in 1902. The address of the school was obviously on rue Montparnasse and the number “131” corresponded to the two adjacent buildings, “129” and “133” rue Montparnasse. The Boy’s Club actually sat atop what became the rue Paul Séjourné! The building which the club occupied had to have been destroyed to make way for the new street–a sad occasion and a loss of a historic 18th century building and garden. I post this in hope it may be found (and the issue resolved more easily) by someone with this same query.

Hi Anna,
Wikipedia has a good list of newspapers already digitised in Germany: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_online_newspaper_archives#Germany.
Further to that, you may want to try the search in the newspaper database ZDB (you can refine your search for titles that are digitally available): http://zdb-katalog.de/index.xhtml.
Hope it helps!

Hi Dan, currently you can access the Europeana Newspapers collection via the TEL historic newspaper browser: http://www.theeuropeanlibrary.org/tel4/newspapers.

Over the course of 2018, the collection and interfaces will be migrated to http://www.europeana.eu/portal/. Stay tuned for further infos on this.

Hi, I’m confused, where can I go to actually see and search this content (the Europeana newspaper collection)? I have clicked all the links and none of them seem to work or provide access to this content?

I am trying to find any reference to the American Boy’s Club in Paris. Many American students made this their base while studying in Paris at the end of the 19th century. One American artist, Artus Van Briggle, wrote that it was located one half block from the confluence (l’aigle) of Blvds. Montparnasse and Raspail. I am looking for an address for the club. I tried using your “search” but was directed to an assortment of unrelated items including gold coins!
