[cross-posted from [community profile] history]

I live in Halifax, so my twitter today has been full of stuff about the Titanic and what's available at the Nova Scotia Archives & Records Management site.


On this day in 1912, the Titanic sank mid-Atlantic. 1, 518 passengers and crew died.

Digitized news magazines from April and May 1912 that cover the loss of the Titanic
