Selective Index to Duluth Newspapers
1893-1929
Only articles of regional (northeastern Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin) interest are included. The index does not include wire-service stories on national or international subjects, very short (one paragraph) articles, or most sports stories.
If there is a date in parentheses following the article title, that indicates when the event took place:
Classes opened at Irving School (1893)

page, and 25 cents for each additional page. The Library will
send you a bill and instructions for payment along with the copy. The original newspaper index
was a local Works Progress Administration project from the 1930s
and the entries were written on note cards. The Library has retained this
card file and, over the course of two years, the information
on the cards was keyed in to this database during many hours
of work by Library volunteer Joyce Peterson. This database contains over 25,000
entries. This online index could never have been completed without
Joyce's generous donation of her time and her enthusiasm for
the project.
