Collingsworth Public Library Newspaper Archives
from 1909 through 2008
Archives for October 2009 - Last week
Collingsworth Public Library in cooperation with the current publisher of the Leader, Chris Blackburn, has converted the existing microfilm copies of the Wellington Leader to digital format.
Several years ago Mr. Henry Wells gave the microfilm collection to the Library so that the public would have greater access to the rich history contained in the newspapers. Since then the internet and technology have made huge advancements while at the same time the equipment and film became extinct and impossible to maintain.
The conversion makes locating information much easier; just type in a "name" or word you would like to find then read the articles that are found using those search terms. You can also select a time period and browse the newspapers for that time period. Printing can be done from your computer or you can order prints from the company. If you have problems using the archive, use the help tab or call us and we'll walk you through the instructions.
