SHAWANO 
COUNTY NEWSPAPERS

This is a listing from the State Historical Society of Wisconsin Library (thanks to James Hansen!) of Shawano County newspapers from 1833 - 2000.  The State Historical Society has the 2nd largest newspaper collection in the U.S.  These newspapers are on microfilm and are available on INTERLOAN to the nearest public library to your home!  If you are a Wisconsin resident, they are free on interloan -- if you are an "out-of-stater" they are still available on interloan but there is a $15 fee.  See INTERLIBRARY LOAN page for the details.  You say you'd like to volunteer to post items to the site but you're not in Shawano County?  Then interloan newspapers on microfilm are the perfect answers!  If you'd like to help out, and have questions, email me.  Thanks!!!

P.S. If you know of any other local collections of newspapers for the county, please email me the newspaper name, date, and which library has them.
