Chelsea Library undertaking historic newspaper project

newspaper projectThe Chelsea District Library has 134 years of Chelsea newspapers on rolls of microfilm spanning from 1873 to 2012.

Though the public can access these papers by coming into the library and using the microfilm reader, the process can be challenging and tedious.  However, with support from the community, the library is digitizing these newspapers, making them available online.

For $100, you can sponsor the digitization of a year of Chelsea newspapers between the years 1873-2012. Pick the birth year of someone special, an anniversary, or just a year in history that piques your interest, and make it available to the world.

For more information on the Historic Newspaper Project or to sponsor a year, contact Sara Wedell at [email protected] or at 475-8732, ext. 218.
