Fortunately, newspapers from 1850 are often smaller than full-size 20th century broadsheet newspapers. The smaller, the more similar to a book, and the easier to handle in Wikisource currently. Here is a (small, 3-column, 4-page) newspaper in Swedish for one day in 1836, http://sv.wikisource.org/wiki/Post-_och_Inrikes_Tidningar_1836-01-21 This is the transcluded page after proofreading. You can find each of the 4 pages by clicking the page numbers in the left margin. You can follow arrows to <-- previous and --> next day (20, 21, 22 January 1836). There is a Djvu file and an Index page for each day's issue. I did a full month (January 1836) in May 2010. The starting/overview page has a calendar layout, http://sv.wikisource.org/wiki/Post-_och_Inrikes_Tidningar Two full years (1836-1837) are uploaded as Djvu files to Commons if anyone wants to continue. (But I have not seen any interest in these 3 years.) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Post-_och_Inrikes_Tidningar_1836 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Post-_och_Inrikes_Tidningar_1837 -- Lars Aronsson (lars(a)aronsson.se) Project Runeberg - free Nordic literature - http://runeberg.org/
