NEW LONDON – The New London Public Library has launched a local historical newspaper archive, the New London Press Star reports.
The archive, which spans several decades and dates back to the late 19th Century, includes The New London Press, New London Republican, New London Press-Republican and the Press-Star.
The 95 reels of microfilm were digitized through the Wisconsin Historical Newspaper Project — a partnership between the Wisconsin Public Library Consortium, Wisconsin Historical Society, Wisconsin Newspaper Association and Wisconsin Library Services. New London’s digitization was made possible through a Wisconsin Library Services and Technology Act grant.
Multi Media Channels general manager and WNA board member Dave Wood called it “an incredible resource” for the community.
