MCG Newsletters provide articles on various topics, chiefly family history research, family stories, and general history. We archive our newsletters at Internet Archive (archive.org) world library, where they should be available as historical record for future generations.
Viewing and Listening Choices
Newsletters can be downloaded as PDF, full text, DAISY, or other file formats, or viewed or listened to directly in the Internet Archive Reader screen.
The IA Reader (Internet Archive Reader) links below will take you to a book-format viewer with a “read aloud” mode available through a “speaker” button at the bottom right corner of the viewer. Scrolling below the viewer provides additional file formats.
