The USM Glickman Library in Portland and the USM Library in Gorham each have collections of older newspapers which you can view using one of our microform machines. If you would like to use these machines and research any of these newspapers, please consult a Library Staff Member upon your arrival.
Due to their physical nature, these items are not available for online viewing unless they are included in a database listed in the related box.
The following newspapers are examples of what is available to view on microform. The collections on microform pre-date electronic digitization and so much of what available on microform dates from throughout the twentieth century and into the beginning of the twenty-first century. The dates below each newspaper may not exactly reflect library holdings, but are meant to be an example of likely date ranges.
