Maureen Guzek Digital Newspaper Archive

OTL has copies of local newspapers dating back to the 1800s available in JPEG, microfilm, and OCR-searchable PDF. The collection is named in memory of Maureen Guzek, long-time proprietor of The Ontonagon Herald, who was instrumental in helping us fund the digitization project. The archives are available for in-library browsing, or can be copied to personal storage devices for off-site use. The library also occasionally sells pre-loaded USB drives as a fundraiser.

There are no plans to make the archives available online at this time due to the financial considerations of developing and running such a web service. (Each PDF is over a gigabyte!)

Out-of-town researchers can contact the library for help searching the archives (results may take several business days).
