Newspapers and new sites are valuable sources of local news and events. Many local events may not be published in national or international newspapers.
Local New sites often limit your access after a few articles unless you subscribe. Using one of our databases will provide access to almost all of the articles found on these websites.
Many of these news sites provide exact copies (facsimiles) of the printed paper. Often, there is an archive. Most archived newspapers do not go back online beyond 1986 when digitization began. You can often find microfilm and paper copies of older newspapers at the main library in each county.
