By City and CountyA Guide to Accessing the Library of

Michigan’s Microfilm Newspaper

Collection

ABSTRACT The newspaper resources available at the

Library of Michigan are vast, one of the

largest backfiles of Michigan newspapers

in the country. This collection is largely

unindexed. This guide identifies aids to

accessing the content of some of the

newspapers in the Library’s microfilm

collection. The newspaper film is

organized by city of publication and title

of paper.

Selected articles related to Michigan were

clipped for the Vertical File until about

1989. These items are filed by subject on

the 2nd floor of the Library of Michigan.

A few papers are available via the

Library’s CD network. Most notably the

Detroit Free Press is searchable there

from 1988-2001. The Detroit News is

available on the network from 1993 to the

present (with a one month delay). Both

offer full text of the articles indexed.

They do not contain photos, advertising

or classified ads.

See our other Guides for information on

additional electronic newspaper media.
