Extra! Extra! Library Launching Historic Newspapers Project!
The Chelsea District Library has 134 years of Chelsea
newspapers on rolls of microfilm spanning from 1873 to 2012. Though the public can access these papers by coming into the Library and using the microfilm reader, the process can be challenging and tedious. However, with support from the community, the Chelsea District Library is digitizing these newspapers, making them available online. READ MORE>>
For $100, you can sponsor the digitization of a year of Chelsea newspapers between the years 1873-2012. Pick the birth year of someone special, an anniversary, or just a year in history that piques your interest, and make it available to the world.
