Question: How can I find local newspaper archives (not from Des Moines but from my birthplace Minneapolis, MN)?

Answer:

From our homepage https://library.drake.edu/ click on Find & Borrow > Research Databases. From the "Type" dropdown, select "Newspapers" to get a list of databases that contain mainly newspaper articles. You may want to start with U.S. Newsstream, which contains top U.S. and regional newspapers.

 

Then, again, from our homepage https://library.drake.edu/ click on Find & Borrow > Journals. Search for the newspaper title in the journals search box. The results will tell you what years we own in print and online, if any.  For any online holdings there will be a link to the newspaper.
