Historic Newspaper Search

The Harrisonburg - Rockingham Historical Society has a continuing program of documenting a number of historical documents into searchable databases. One of these is a collection of old newspapers in digital format.

Using this database of a list of 24,000 Historic Newspapers one can determine if HRHS has a digital copy of a specific newspaper. The digital PDF images are located on the HRHS library computer.
