2/2
Welcome to the Long Beach HistoricalNewspaper Collection at the
HistoricalSociety of Long Beach (HSLB). This collection beganwhen
the Press-Telegramneeded to nd a permanent
home for its bound volume newspapers (1897 1989)and its microlm
(1947 present) and asked theHSLB if it had space for it. As the
collection growswith each new reel of microlm, the HSLB is gladto
be the steward of this unique collection long intothe future.
The collection of newspapers we receivedfrom the
Press-Telegramincludes itspredecessor papers. Throughoutthe
Newspaper Collection manyyears and volumes are missing.Its not
surprising considering the number of owners
and location changes over the 117 years represented.The
collection also includes newspapers from othersources, including
theMarina Newsand the Arguswhich came to us through members of the
NorthLong Beach Community Action Group.
The partnership between the HSLB and the LongBeach Navy Memorial
Heritage Association has beenessential to securing and preserving
the NewspaperCollection and in making it available to the
public.Thanks to the LBNMHA, the Newspaper Collectionhas been
inventoried, catalogued, shelved or placedin archival boxes, is
accompanied by a timeline inthe gallery, and can be accessed at a
workstationwith a microlm viewer that can copy articles ontoa
portable drive. We are pleased to be part of mak-ing these
important historical documents available
to researchers and others who are interested inknowing more
about the citys history as chronicledin its newspapers.
