We don't currently have bounding boxes for the many different sizes and shapes of newspaper articles in the Portal, so it's often difficult to cut and save an article alone. You can, however, use our zoom interface to magnify or reduce a rectangular portion of a page and then save it. Learn how in our Magnifying (Zooming) guide.

Our system does not generate citations for individual newspaper articles, but you can get a citation for a page. Navigate to the desired page in the reading pane, and then scroll down until you see "Reference the current page of this Newspaper." Click the "Copy Citation" button and then paste the citation into your document or program. Learn more about our citation style in our Citing guide.

Very often, newspaper obituaries appear under column headings such as obituary, obituaries, or obits. To find obituaries across all the newspapers in the Portal, try entering the term obit* in the basic search box on our home page, selecting "Newspapers" from the "Any Type" dropdown list and clicking the blue search button. Bear in mind that obituaries or similar content could also appear under headings such as death noticies, in memorium, etc., so you may need to search with those words as well. To find an obituary for a particular person, try searching the name, date, and heading simultaneously. For example, to find the obituary for Emma G. Hallford who died April 8, 1918, enter "emma g. hallford" +obit* +1918 in the search box. You can learn more about searching techniques in our Guides.
