Calling all genealogists, historians and local history buffs! Researching our historical newspapers collection just got a whole lot easier. Memorial Hall Library has launched a new, easy-to-use platform for access to
The Andover Townsman (1887+)
The Andover Advertiser (1853-1866)
The Lawrence American and Andover Advertiser (1866-1907)
Keyword searches, date filtering and the ability to easily clip and save articles and photos on our Local News Archive site will enhance your ability to discover stories and photographs from 170 years of Andover news coverage.
In January, we will host two one-hour sessions for exploring these collections on this exciting new platform. But, there’s no need to wait until January to begin digging in. We are happy to answer any questions or give you a quick demonstration at the reference desk anytime we are open. Questions? Send an email to rdesk@mhl.org or call 978-623-8430.
