Family or personal history researchers often contact us with lookup requests for obituaries or historic newspaper articles. The staff and volunteers of the special collections are happy to conduct a search and make copies.

Because there is not an index to our newspaper archive, we require a starting point to begin our search. In the case of obituaries, we normally search the week of newspapers after an individual's death. The library only charges for this service if the request includes a large number of copied pages.

If you would like to submit a lookup request, please fill out the online form.
