Anti-fascist androgyne camp counselor, loves arts and crafts

So, Betelgeuse's Italian monologue, his presence at a plague pit, touching dead bodies with bare hands, unmasked. He's clearly among those who were immune to the Black Death, but for me that yields more questions:

is he in an Italian village stricken by the plague? Or another European country?

was he in one of the major cities that lost 50-60 percent of their population? (say Florence or Siena)

Because it was fanfiction:

Even when everything happened in canon:

Lots of different places; for cartoons and newspaper articles I primarily use newspapers.com, which (unfortunately) requires a subscription. The cartoon archives of Ed Gamble, Charlie Daniel, and Etta Hulme are all digitized and freely available, however.

For campaign memorabilia, sales websites are often great places to look; Heritage Auctions and Hake Auctions, for example, often provide high-quality scans of rare items without watermarks. Wolfgang's, eBay, and sometimes Etsy are good places for magazine covers (though the prices on Wolfgang's are egregious; don't buy from there if you're actually looking for physical magazines LOL).

For photos and sometimes newspapers or documents, college archives are a great place to look; if you're interested in specific politicians, oftentimes searching either their name + "archive", or just an area they may have been associated with + "archive" (like, for example, 'New York archive'...) can turn up good results. These are kind of no-brainers but Worldcat, the National Archives catalog, and archive.org are fantastic broad archives/search engines. The Wayback Machine on the latter is where I get most of my "old web" stuff. Some Presidential Libraries also have digitized archives on their websites of both photos and documents; if you're interested in a specific President, it's worth either tracking their stuff down on the NARA catalog or going to their actual website and seeing what's online. Google Arts & Culture has a fantastic archive of photos and sometimes photos of campaign memorabilia, but can be nearly impossible to save anything from; if you want to save photos from there, I recommend downloading dezoomify.

For footage, Veritone (watermarked), ABC News Video Source (unwatermarked if you're on mobile), the American Archive of Public Broadcasting (unwatermarked), and Texas-specific footage websites like the Portal to Texas History (also has photos, documents; great if you're interested in literally anyone from Texas or who has been to Texas; unwatermarked), and the Texas Archive of the Moving Image (small watermark) are all great places to look.
