Midland newspapers have been preserved on microfilm for years. ProQuest, a private company based in Ann Arbor and the owner of the master microfilm copies, was hired to digitize the microfilms for Midland newspapers from their inception in 1870 through 1922 and make them available online. The Friends of the Library funded the project.
The online images may be searched by words or viewed by date. You may print or e-mail the page images. Many of these newspapers were old when first microfilmed; hence, the end product reflects the condition of the newspaper when it was originally filmed.
You may access this new resource from computers in the library or from any computer that’s connected to the Internet. You will need a library card to remotely access the resource.
