How to Access Newspapers
Each month through the end of 2025, approximately 8,000 pages of historic Stillwater and other Washington County area newspapers will be digitized and added to the Minnesota Historical Society’s Minnesota Digital Newspaper Hub, joining an existing collection of digitized newspapers from Stillwater and other communities around the state. The newspapers can be browsed by date, or searched.
