Digitized newspapers

In 2007, with help from the Palo Alto County Gaming Development Corporation, the Emmetsburg Public Library had the entire extant collection of Emmetsburg's newspapers digitized from microfilm. The collection is on a website hosted by Heritage Microfilm. The site enables word-searching by using Optical Character Recognition technology. Additionally, browsing by title and issue is equally facilitated. This link will take you to a login page: http://emmetsburg.newspaperarchive.com/
You may either enter your login information or you may access the site at the library.
