The best source for a local newspaper is the community’s public library or the newspaper’s office. Typically, newspapers for smaller communities do not have published indexes; however, public librarians occasionally index the local newspaper to a limited degree, e.g., by name or major events.
Another good source for local newspapers is the Illinois Newspaper Project (INP). This project is part of the U. S. Newspaper Program, which endeavors to find and preserve local newspapers on microfilm. The INP database is searchable by state, county, or city of publication; newspaper title; and.or year. Microfilmed newspapers from the Illinois Newspaper Project may be borrowed via interlibrary loan (ILLiad).
