How do you get access to the Preston County Journal? I know that it is on microfilm, but is it out in any other media too?

Bob, Preston Co newspaper microfilm from 1866 is available in these two major repositories: Division of Archives and History West Virginia State Archives The Cultural Center 1900 Kanawha Boulevard, East Charleston WV 25305-0300 1-304-558-0220 It is not the policy of the WV Archives to conduct extensive genealogical searches. The fee for an out of State request is $10 which covers research time and copies. A request from a WV address will be billed when the research is completed. Microfilm prints are 50¢ each. A list of researchers who do research for a fee will be provided upon request. Inter-library loan of Preston Co newspaper microfilm is not available. West Virginia University West Virginia and Regional History Collection Colson Hall PO Box 6464 Morgantown WV 26506-6464 1-304-293-3536 It is not the policy of the West Virginia and Regional History Collection to conduct extensive research. There is a $20 fee per request. Microfilm prints are 10¢ each. A list of researchers who do research for a fee will be provided upon request. Inter-library loan of Preston Co newspaper microfilm is not available. I know of no other media for Preston Co newspapers other than the microfilm although the Preston Co Historical Society has published the genealogies that appeared in The Preston Co Journal during 1907-08. Please DO NOT contact the Journal office regarding back issues as they are not equipped to do genealogical research.

I was just hoping that they were on CD ROM or online somewhere. I had them all ordered on microfilm from a LDS Family History Center, but I moved away and no longer have access to them.
