baltimore afro-american
Please add CDI coverage for ProQuest Historical Newspapers: The Baltimore Afro-American (All Years) Collection ID: 614940000000000323. This collection currently covers 1893-2010.
There is existing Link in record coverage for ProQuest Historical Newspapers: The Baltimore Afro-American (1893-1988) Collection ID: 614340000000000184, but it doesn't cover the full range of dates we are subscribed to and doesn't actually seem to be indexing any articles. For example, I cannot get this article to appear in Primo search results:
Widgeon, P. (1980, Nov 22). Murphy father-son judge team is historic first for state. Afro-American (1893-) Retrieved from https://www.proquest.com/historical-newspapers/murphy-father-son-judge-team-is-historic-first/docview/532470120/se-21 voteHi,
