but the State Historical Library does, and these films can be lent to your local library through the Inter-Library loan program. Sue, how do you know which film to order. Like I would love to get the film of the old Mendon newpapers, but I don't know how to order them. Do I need a catalog of the film numbers or something? Bud Caudle in Guthrie, Oklahoma

The films are maintained by name of paper and dates. So if your are looking for a paper in Columbus, IL and have the dates, they will send you what they have for those dates. In cities with one of more papers, its helpful to have the name of the paper. But you may not know that, so asked for any news papers printed in that town/area for the given dates. Understand that not all towns had newspapers, so be sure to ask for any paper printed in that area. The staff there is very knowledgeable. They can also help to determine which newspaper would d most have likely contained the info. Also, if you know where other family lived, check their newspapers also. I know that my grandfather marriage was noted on 3 different newspapers in 3 different towns. BTW, marriages were noted as well as deaths, births. This was particularly helpful considering all records in Alexander County were destroyed by floods, so all that is left are newspapers. Also I was lucky enough to find complete obits in smaller papers, and again this was before the state began keeping state-wide records in 1916. Also, copies of these records are cheap. In Springfield, it costs only 25 cents to make copies of the newspaper article. Not bad. also remember, that death records are only 50 cents in Springfield for dates from 1916 -1947. They are pretty far behind, but you may save lots of money considering most county records offices will charge you at least $7.00 for each record. That can add up in a hurry. So if you don't mind the wait, its worth it to request it from Springfield or better yet, travel to Springfield and get it yourself, at the archives. Newspaper are at the Historical Library which is NOT open on Weekends/Holidays.
