Rensselaer County Newspapers |
The New York State Library loans most of its newspaper microfilm, but some libraries around the state may not. It is always a good idea to contact libraries to ask if they do lend microfilm. If so, initiate a request for the film at your local library. The New York State Library accepts interlibrary loan requests ONLY from libraries. The statewide bibliography is a service provided by the New York State Newspaper Project (NYSNP) but does not insure access to collections. The NYSNP adds microfilm to the New York State Library's collection (as titles are preserved) and updates holdings data twice annually -- in September and March.
