Martin Library’s renovations have made it a first-rate library.
\nBut in the modernization at the longtime York library, a resource for researchers has been curtailed.<\/p>\n


\nThe library no longer has newspaper microfilm and microfilm readers.
\nNo real complaints here given everything else the renovated Martin Library offers, but it’s a point researchers should note.
\nYork County newspaper microfilm in relatively unbroken sequence goes to the advent of the York Gazette in 1815.
\nThe York County Heritage Trust<\/a> is the only York-area site for researchers to view newspaper microfilm before 1971. (Microfilm at York College’s Library starts at that date.) To view its microfilm collection, the Trust charges a daily rate, unless one has a membership or is a school student.
\nThe Heritage Trust’s 250 E. Market St. archives are open from 9-5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. So, researchers will no longer have access to microfilm after hours at Martin.
\nOf course, the York Daily Record is available at “News Library,” www.ydr.com, dating back to 1992. Searching is free, and the cost per download is $2.
\nOr search this blog’s archives. As of Feb, 10, 2008, 800 historical entries had been posted.
