Containing Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, and Marion newspapers from 1853 to the present the Newspaper Archives of the Cedar Rapids Public Library contains over 665,000 newspaper pages. If you know what you are looking for 1857 to the present is searchable by keyword and date. If you don't you can browse the newspapers by title or date.A wealth of local history placed at your finger tips. I dare you to explore it, perhaps see what was happening in Iowa on the day you were born?
This is one of the resources pinned to the archive's "Primary Resources" Pinterest board.
