Hello, I need a few obituaries from the early to mid 1900s. Is there a local library that has newspapers on microfilm or would it be better to see if the local historical society can get them? Any information appreciated. I'm new to researching in this county. Thanks! Melissa F. (Morgan) Kline Cecil County, Maryland
I didn't see any other posts to the list on answering this topic. Hopefully you got some good replies. This is what I do. I request the newspapers on microfilm through Inter Library Loan (ILL) from the State Library of Pa to my local county library. So far borrowing the microfilms has not cost me anything, even when I ask for multiples. I have done this for Huntingdon, Blair and Somerset counties so far. This is the search form for the State LIbrary of PA: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8020/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?DB=local&PAGE=First Search for: newspapers pennsylvania blair Choose "subject' heading in the box to the right then click on search You will get a list of newspapers and time periods published that are available on microfilm. Ask your local library about how to request these items. It will be sent to your local library for you to view on their microfilm readers for about 3 weeks. You can give a time frame you're interested in for example June-August 1909 & you will get the numerous microfilms needed for the given paper to cover that time period. Happy hunting!
