The Minnesota Historical Society has a very large collection of newspapers but they do not have every paper that was ever printed in Minnesota. Like any other collection, it is not always complete. Depending on what year you are looking for, it is possible that there is a paper listed under a different name. Many times the very small towns would band together and publish one paper to cover this area. The history center has a notebook there that they will help you determine if this was the case for this town. It would be best to check with them directly.

They are on microfiche and can be copied for a small amount 25 cents when I was there two years ago, Sometimes nothing will be available because a fire or some other disaster has destroyed records. I was able to get obits for many members of my family and a picture of myself and a cousin and girlfriedn taken at the State Fair ,as we were the first kids there on opening day. ( We lied about our ages and got in free) We were supposed to be 10 or under,I was 13! Barbara
