Would someone share with me the knowledge of whether or not the Wilmington Public Library in downtown Wilmington has access to obituaries for the month of May of 1902 OR March for 1935???? I would assume these are now on Microfilm or fiche, rather than actual paper items? Thanks! Elaine May

Dear Elaine, I've been to this library and I remember looking at microfilmed obits as well as actual newspapers. I've only been up this way a few times to do research, but I ended up at the library one day after going to the historical society down the street. I needed a few obits, but the historical society didn't allow access to their newspapers. So, they sent me on to the library for them. As I recall their collection at the library is pretty complete. I used newspapers from the 1920s that day. Hope this helps!

Dear Melissa, THANKS!!!! That does help! I have now found a website for them in which I can email a "reference" librarian, so I have asked them for the specific dates I need to see if they are covered. Elaine
