You still have to pay for the 1851-1980 articles. While some free articles are certainly nice, the 1981-2007 database is already available for free at most libraries (and at home if you have a library card). On the other hand, the 1851-1980 database is not free (at least from any library I know of) and it is likely most relevant to genealogists.

Most in the NY area have at home access thru their local libraries. We can email the article to you.
