Historic Newspapers

The Clinton Public Library Historic Newspaper Project was undertaken in 2014 to digitize the corpus of defunct newspapers from the Lyons and Clinton communities from 1856-1927. Using microfilm currently housed at the CPL-Lyons facility, Advantage Preservation created and currently hosts the fully digitized materials on a searchable website. The project was made possible by a grant from the State Historical Society of Iowa’s Historic Resource Development Program.
