The Memorial Hall Library Historical Newspaper Collection has moved to a new, easy-to-use platform.

Come to a one-hour presentation about accessing archival news content from The Andover Townsman (1887+), The Andover Advertiser (1853-1866) and The Lawrence American and Andover Advertiser (1866-1907).

The program will also cover how to access the Lawrence Evening Tribune and the Eagle Tribune for regional historical newspaper access online and using microfilm. Genealogists, historians and casual browsers will find troves of useful reporting and photographs to support their local history research.
