The catalog which lists them tells only those which are available on microfilm (every newspaper the historical society has been able to find and microfilm), so there are many newspapers which formerly existed but are not included in the collection, simply because no copies have survived. For example, the earliest Independence newspaper available (except for Mormon religious publications and one issue of an 1843 paper) dates from 1898, even though there were papers published in Independence much earlier than that. The K.S. Star began publication in 1880, but the Times began earlier, in 1871, I believe, and copies are available on microfilm. The early films are separate; in later years, the films include both the Star and Times for the dates included. If you don't have access to the catalog which was mentioned, you can call 816-252-7228. (Mid-Continent's Genealogy Branch) and ask them to check the catalog to see if a newspaper is available for the town/county and date that you are researching. Then you can request the film through your own local library. It would probably be cheaper for you to call than to order the catalog!
