HCC Newspaper Collection

Individual newspapers of the region are listed in the Library Catalog and Humboldt County News Online.  They are more fully described on the Northwestern California Newspapers website and indexing is discussed in Newspaper Articles: Indexes & Microfilm; this link includes microfilm call numbers for the major historical newspapers of the region. See also Reference Resources & Quick Facts: Newspapers.

The Library has Specimen Issues from a number of the local newspapers as well as a collection of Special and/or Commemorative Issues created by various newspaper publishers.  Many of these are located in the Humboldt Room, although the Specimen Issues are available by appointment only.

A related group of "souvenir" items which actively promote the virtues of the local area is described in Boosterism - Humboldt County.
