Newspaper Archives
The museum’s newspaper archive contains original newspapers dating from the mid-1890s to the present day. The early newspapers are fragile. Microfilm, or in some cases, photocopies of the originals, are made available to researchers. The archive also houses microfilm of some early newspapers for which we do not have original copies.
The East Bonner County Library District also offers several local newspapers in digital format, dating back to 1940, including the Bonner County Daily Bee, the Sandpoint Daily Bee, the Sandpoint News-Bulletin, and the Lewis County Herald.
