It is. Morti, but they are so fragile - I don't think ancient newspapers were as strongly made as modern ones. There are three cuttings fastened together with a dressmaker's pin - but it is so rusty I dare not even try to remove it.
Will take them to the City Archivist and ask for his help.
The mass cards have already yielded gold - have found my Great, Great, Grandparents! Also, a sad one, a young girl who died when just 14yrs. From her name and photo it is obvious she is related - but have not yet established where she fits in - guess what I am going to be doing today!!
