I will be going to Kennebunkport soon and would like to look at microfilm of old newspapers, from 1865 on. I am interested in ones that would cover the Kennebunk/Kennebunkport area. I've been in contact with the Kennebunk library and know they have microfilm for 1921-1998. I don't know if earlier years weren't put on microfilm or Kennebunk just doesn't have them. I live in a small city in Indiana and we have microfilm for newspapers back in the 1800s and I can't believe that New England wouldn't have them back at least that far. What newspapers would have had Kennebunkport/Cape Porpoise/Arundel/Kennebunk news in the last quarter of the 19th century? Thank you for any help you can give me.

Hi folks; If you go to my website at http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ranch/4962/index2.html scroll down and you will find links to lists of newspapers published in Maine in 1860, 1886 and 1901. Also, a link to the Fogler Library newspaper collection. Best wishes, Dana Edgecomb At 05:01 AM 7/29/03 -0500, Carol L.

Hi, all, A quick comment on the Maine Democrat newspaper published in Biddeford and Saco, which is somewhat likely to have news of Kennebunk and Kennebunkport. The two reels I looked at are sadly very slim, and have only a few dates on them. Missing dates include Reel 7 Oct 1829 18 Mar 1835 15 Apr 1835 8 Aug 1843 3 Sep 1844 22 Oct 1844 18 Nov 1845 22 Jun 1858 Reel 13 Oct 1868 10, 17, 31 Mar 1870 12 May 1870 2, 30 Jun 1870 7, 28, Jul 1870 4, 11, 18, 25 Aug 1870 1, 8, 15, 22 Sep 1870 NPM On 30 Jul 2003 at 1:20, Dana Edgecomb wrote about Re: [MEYORK] Newspapers: > Hi folks; > If you go to my website at > http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ranch/4962/index2.html > scroll down and you will find links to lists of newspapers > published in Maine in 1860, 1886 and 1901.
