Newspapers and Magazines in the Community Newspapers are a great resource for researchers; however, be aware that you can't believe everything you read in a paper. From day to day, the facts may change, so you will need to read several articles in sequence to piece together the actual facts. Most large newspapers have wonderful on-line search engines, so that you can search their archives without having to travel to the newspaper office. Most smaller newspapers will keep archives of past issues at their office and will allow people to use them for research. Call the editor to make an appointment to use their newspaper archives.
Regional magazines such as Blue Mountain Shadows, may also have local historical and scientific information you can use. Many County Historical Societies also publish magazines. Check the local library to see what publications may be printed locally.
