There is a reference book called Newspapers on Microfiche that gives you the names of all the old papers from a region. Do not wear yourself out looking at microfiche!! But this will give you a clue of what microfiche to order from your reference librarian at your library on INTER LIBRARY LOAN. Ask your reference librarian what this is and the process for getting other books and records that are not in your library. Ask your librarian about Heritage Quest to search for census records for free on the internet. If you have a PIN number and log onto your local library to hold books, this might be a service you can access from your home computer via your personal library. Also, the downtown Spokane library buys all the CD's that Ancestry.com offers on the internet (they hide them), maybe your library does or will do that upon request. Never hurts to ask! -----Original Message----- From: Juvanne Martin [mailto:juvanne@earthlink.net] Sent: Sunday, October 02, 2005 9:12 PM To: WAWALLAW-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [WAWALLAW-L] early newspapers I am trying to dind out if there were early newspapers in the Walla Walla Valley.
