Most newspapers are not indexed, so providing accurate location and date is required. Staff will search in up to two newspapers in or closest to the location specified. The search includes up to 7 issues of a daily paper or 4 issues of a weekly paper. *This includes as many pages as needed to fit the article, as well as any accompanying photos. The additional cost covers shipping the article in a mailing tube via USPS First-Class Mail (delivery time: 2-5 business days after the order has been completed by staff).  If you have an exact citation for or exact information about the article you are seeking (newspaper, article title, date, page number, etc.) please provide that in the Order Comments box.
