Introduction to the Michigan Newspaper Family Histories Since knowing the exact title and dates of a newspaper can be of great help in historical research, our newspaper 'families,' similar to family trees, have been created to help librarians, researchers, genealogists and others track the titles, publishing dates and history of Michigan's newspapers.
Newspaper Resources in Michigan and Nationally Locating newspaper holdings in the State of Michigan, obtaining microfilm, the USNP (United States Newspaper Project) information, the NDNP (National Digital Newspaper Program), and resources for preservation.
Library of Michigan Newspaper Holdings
The following is a list of the Michigan newspapers on microfilm at the Library of Michigan. The list is organized by county, and arranged alphabetically by city and title. The dates listed for each title are generalized; the Library may not own every issue for each year listed. Detailed holding information can be obtained from ANSWER, the Library's online catalog.
If you are unable to visit the Library of Michigan to use the newspaper collection, another option for newspaper lookups is to ask at your local library about requesting materials through interlibrary loan. Michigan libraries may borrow microfilm for the newspaper you wish to search. Out-of-state libraries may request copies of articles for you if you provide a complete citation.
