The following teaser is from an article posted October 21, 2016 at the yourstephenvilletx.com website:
Digging into local news archives soon will be easier thanks to a joint effort by Tarleton State University’s Dick Smith Library and the Stephenville Public Library to digitize the community’s old newspapers.
The Ladd & Katherine Hancher Library Foundation donated a $10,450 grant this month that will help with funding to digitize and archive local newspapers published between 1882 and 1922…
Historic copies of the former Stephenville Empire and Stephenville Tribune — continuously published today as the Stephenville Empire-Tribune — are available in microfilm at the Dick Smith Library…
Once digitized, the 1882-1992 newspapers will be housed online in the Portal to Texas History digital library, maintained by the University of North Texas.
Thanks to ResearchBuzz for the heads-up.
