I just received an e-mail from Jillian Fuller at the Ida Public Library that I thought would interest many of you. In the next few weeks, we will have a feature on this in the Belvidere Daily Republican.
Hello,
The Ida Public Library Local History Room is happy to announce that the Belvidere newspapers from 1851-1977 are now available online and searchable on Newspapers.com. All of the articles ...can be searched by keyword and year and they are easy to search, print, and save. If you do not have a subscription to Newspapers.com, you will be able to access the site at Ida Public Library for free starting in June- you do not need a library card to utilize this resource. You can also contact me at the library with research requests, if needed. We hope this opportunity proves beneficial for all those researching their Belvidere and Boone County history. Feel free to contact me at 815-544-3838 or localhistory@idapubliclibrary.org for more information. And please pass it on!
