Do a "Google Search" I have found many Articles this way.

The next best thing to knowing something is knowing where to find it.

REPLIED to Info RequestCheck Mark
Most US newspapers today have websites with a limited supply of archived articles online. Many will provide access to papers up to about two weeks old free of charge, but will charge a fee for older archived articles. Each paper has its own policy and limit of how far back you can go. Most will also provide "hard copies" of older articles from their own files (not on the web) if you know the specific article and date. Some will also let people browse the microfiched newspapers in their "morgue" where they are kept, if you go there in person.

If you let me know the specific newspaper and date you are interested in, I will try to obtain further information, but you can probably do just as well on your own.

Reply to Dr WLS's Post: Thanks a lot. I'd been researching the 1994 murder of an Oregon woman. I contacted the local paper there and they put me in touch with the public library in that area. Zeroxed copies of the articles were mailed to me by the library. I got them today.

Thanks again.
