Historic Sleepy Eye newspapers are now available at no charge on the Minnesota Historical Society’s (MNHS) Minnesota Digital Newspaper Hub (mnhs.org/newspapers/hub). The 6,500 or so pages uploaded to date represent Stage One of a multi-year project to place public domain Sleepy Eye newspapers on the Newspaper Hub.
Stage One includes issues of the Farmer’s Criterion (a November 1875 issue), the Sleepy Eye Wide-Awake (a July 1979 issue), the Brown County Pioneer (three issues from 1881), the Brown County Republican (83 issues from 1881-83) and the Sleepy Eye Dispatch (945 issues from 1890 to 1908).
Four subsequent stages of 6,000 pages each will be added to the Hub every other month or so until completion by September 2021. Those stages will include the Sleepy Eye Herald (1882-1908), the Sleepy Eye Progressive (1916-25), and the Herald-Dispatch (1908-25).
