Michigan Newspapers

United States Michigan  Newspapers

Resources for Newspapers
A newspaper pool has been organized by the Library of Michigan, Detroit Public Library, and other institutions to gather and microfilm all known Michigan newspapers. These microfilms are available to public and university libraries that participate in interlibrary loan. A description of the state's newspapers is in the Fall-Winter, 1971–72, issue of Family Trails (see the "Periodicals" section).

Newspapers in the Library of Michigan in Lansing are listed on their web site.

The Family History Library has no Michigan newspapers, but does have:


 * Link, Muriel. Obituaries Index, 1933–1948. Salt Lake City, Utah: Genealogical Society of Utah, 1976. (Family History Library .) This index contains clippings from various Michigan newspapers.
