GFJ Digital Archives

We’re excited to announce an expansion of GFJ’s Digital Archives. We’ve added eight years of additional searchable, digitized local newspapers, extending coverage into 1923. The project will eventually carry coverage to 1960. We will soon add The E-J Worker’s Review. The Review was an in-house publication of the Endicott Johnson Corporation published from 1919 till 1925, and is loaded with both text and photographs covering life in greater Endicott during those years. Visit the Archives by clicking on the “Vintage Endicott Newspapers” logo on our web page.
