"Historical vocabulary are the words used by people living at the time to describe contemporary people, places and events. Watch this video to learn more about historical vocabulary and why it is important to use it while searching Chronicling America and other digital newspaper resources."

"Watch this video to learn some tips for working with online translation tools in order to access the information contained in foreign-language newspapers on Chronicling America (http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov).
