Kansas Newspapers

The Kansas State Historical Society holds one of the largest newspaper collections in the United States. They have almost every newspaper that was printed in Kansas (well over 61,000 volumes) and more than 12,000 out-of-state-volumes. These papers are in the Newspaper and Census Division, and many are on microfilm and available through interlibrary loan. The Family History Library has not collected copies of Kansas newspapers.


 * A useful guide to Kansas materials is History of Kansas Newspapers: 1854-1916 (Topeka, Kansas: Kansas State Historical Society, 1916; Family History Library book 978.1 B3k; film 1036378).
