Morse Institute Library offers digitized historical newspapers
Wicked Local
NATICK The Morse Institute Library, with a gift from the MutualOne Charitable Foundation, recently added a new local history resource with the digitization of all local historical newspapers, which were previously only available on microfilm.
The digital archive is indexed and can be searched by keyword. This resource is accessible to people anywhere in the world for free.
“With stay-at-home orders and the COVID-19 pandemic, the Morse Institute Library saw an increase in local history inquiries, said Karol Bartlett, reference and instructional librarian. Now we can respond very quickly to these inquiries, as well as offer patrons the ability to conduct their own research inside the library or from the comfort of their own home. You don’t even have to have a library card.”
