No Longer in the Area?
While we do not offer newspaper "look-up" services, the Rutgers Libraries will usually (although not always) lend newspapers on microfilm to other libraries via interlibrary loan. So if you are not able to come and use the materials on site, you may have a library that you are affiliated with request that the reels of the newspaper for the period in which you are interested be sent to that library for your use.
