Use of the Northfield News Microfilm at the Northfield Historical Society

UPDATE: Due to unforeseen circumstances the microfilm collection and reader have been put in storage.  There are ways of accessing the newspaper post 1922 (see below for online access pre- 1922) Please call the library at 507-645-6606 for assistance.

During the Northfield Public Library's renovation, the Northfield News microfilm collection has been temporarily moved to the Northfield Historical Society (NHS). Northfield Public Library staff will be available to help with searching the Northfield News and other historical Northfield newspapers on microfilm at NHS Mondays from 2:00-5:00 PM.   Service is on a first come first served basis. 

Researchers should come to the NHS Museum Store to let staff know they are interested in using the microfilm during that time. They will then be brought down to the research area.

Use of the microfilm on other days  is by appointment only.  Call the Historical Society at 507-645-9268.

 

People who are unable to come to the Northfield Historical Society but still need information from the film should contact the Northfield Public Library at 507-645-6606 or the Northfield Historical Society at 507-645-9268

Also, remember that the Northfield News (1879-1922) has been digitized by the Minnesota Historical Society so no need to use the film for these years.   http://newspapers.mnhs.org/web/mhsnews/web/imu.php?request=access
