Patrons can view these titles by going on the library’s webpage www.henrycolib.org, and clicking ‘Online Resources’ on the top menu tab. From there, the links to the newspapers can be found on the Genealogy/Local History section of the page.
These newspapers are now word searchable which makes research much easier. This will be a great resource for anyone who does local genealogy or wants to learn more about Henry County history.
These newspapers were digitized by the State Historical Society of Missouri as part of a grant awarded to the Henry County Library. This project is supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act as administered by the Missouri State Library, a division of the Office of the Secretary of State.
We at the Henry County Library, hope that all of our local history buffs will enjoy this newest offering from the library.
