Digital Archives & Microfilm
Digital Archives
Thanks to the generous support of the Vermillion Public Library Foundation, the Edith B. Siegrist Vermillion Public Library has established a new searchable digital archive featuring digitized microfilm from local newspapers.
Now available: All newspapers are available online!
Internal Content (**accessible only from library building due to copyright protections**)
External Content (material dated before 1928 can be accessed from anywhere)
**Links marked “Inside library access only” must be viewed using a Vermillion Public Library computer or with a device connected to the library’s Wi-Fi network.**
Microfilm
The physical microfilm collection here at the library contains copies of newspapers and census records from around Clay County. All of these newspapers have since been digitized and we recommend viewing them online for the easiest experience.
