Historical Newspapers 1872 - 1953

The Historic Documents Committee of Brookfield has provided this historic research of our local newspapers, The Spencer Sun, Weekly Times and Spencer Leader.

The Merrick Public Library’s collection of microfilm from 1872 to 1953 has been converted to PDF files and are Optical Character Recognition (OCR) complete. Researchers may now click on FIND in their browser and enter name, place, or town, etc. and a search will highlight what is found for those search terms in the currently open file. The user then has the option of copy and pasting into a word document.

This resource is also available in person at the Merrick Public Library, along with the option to search all the files at once, not just the open one.

Use your browser/PDF controls to search, zoom, save, print, etc.
The file will open on a new page, please use your browser back button, or close the browser tab to return to this menu.
