However, microfilms of many Rutland County papers are available through interlibrary loan. I've gotten the Rutland Herald, Rutland Globe, Rutland Herald and Globe (they merged) through interlibrary loan. I've seen others, such as the Rutland Courier, Fair Haven Era and the Poultney Journal, listed as available. Consider checking with the interlibrary loan department of your city library. "Worldcat" (world catalog) is a research database showing what years and titles are available for interlibrary loan. Many libraries give their members access to "Worldcat". "Worldcat" can also show you libraries to visit where microfilms are available. Sometimes historical societies or universities have copies of microfilm in fairly farflung areas. I've seen limited years of Rutland County newspapers available in California, Wisconsin, Illinois, New York, New Mexico, Massachusetts - if you are lucky, perhaps some microfilms may already be available at a location close to you. Also Dawn Hance and Joann Nichols have compiled booklets of extracts from the Rutland Herald for the years 1792 through 1830. For information about their booklets you can email [email protected] Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
