Newspapers have what they call a “morgue,” where old copies are kept. In the past, the morgue was a place where clippings on many different subjects and people were carefully filed for access by editors and reporters doing research and getting background for stories they were working on. I’m sure that’s all done now by computer.
However, the papers almost certainly have bound copies of old editions. I don’t know if these would be accessible to the public.

However, the papers almost certainly have bound copies of old editions. I don’t know if these would be accessible to the public. They are for a fee directly from the newspaper. You can get the phone number online. Most newspapers have an archive department and if they don't, the local university or private historical museums might. They will fax and/or scan the archived page directly to you. Tell them you're doing research for a family tree or doing a puff piece on the best president of the last 100 years, Barack Obama (but only on an empty stomach - barf). |
