Also at the PA State Library, where you can do a catalog search on line at: http://www.statelibrary.state.pa.us To check what is available, you can do a guided search for "newspapers" and the "city" or "county" on their web page. They will loan anywhere in the States. There is also another useful link from the State Library web site to a service called Access Pennsylvania where you can find other libraries which have a particular title or newspaper in their collections. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Norman D.

Once microfilming was done, the originals were : destroyed. Having been printed on cheap paper, they were not meant to : survive and would probably have fallen to dust by now anyway. The : Hazleton newspaper being printed in JAN 1887 was the Daily Sentinel. It : is available on microfilm in at least two locations I that I know: the : Hazleton Public Library and the Luzerne Co. Historical Society in : Wilkes-Barre. There was also a mining journal for the Hazleton area : called The Colliery Engineer, which can be found op microfilm at the : Hazleton library. The holdings are short, covering only 2 JAN 1886 to : AUG 1887. I don't know where else any of these may be available, but : it's about time that Ancestry adds some of the newspapers of NE : Pennsylvania to their database. : : Best wishes, : : Doug Nicol : : Norman D.
