Some Mount Clemens Daily Leader Issues are Digitized Too! See How to Find Them

Here is some additional information on using the Digital Michigan Newspapers Portal to find digitized newspapers for Mount Clemens.

Besides the Mount Clemens Monitor which we told you about yesterday, there is also at present time some issues from one year of the Mount Clemens Daily Leader. You can find this newspaper's summary page under the title, Daily Leader. And, of course the summary page for the Monitor here. Though neither newspaper appears on the website page with the map of Michigan where you can view the newspapers by county, both do appear in the Gold toolbar Titles and Counties tabs, as well as in the Search tab's Advanced options to Limit Search by Title.

 

Want to search both newspaper titles at the same time? In the Search with Advanced Filters showing, in the Limit Search by Title, first click/select Daily Leader then scroll down and control-select Mount Clemens Monitor so both titles are now highlighted. Put in your search word(s) and search both newspapers.

Our long-time MCGG friend shared with us the following method. In the Find entry field, put "Mount Clemens" in the field. Use the filter field in the left-column and select Macomb County from the County list. Now you can change the "Mount Clemens" to your preferred search word(s) such as a surname or person's name in quotes or even a street name or address or business name etc. You can also narrow your results by decades. Because the Mount Clemens newspapers are presently the only digitized newspapers for Macomb County filtering by Macomb County at this time limits the search to just the Mount Clemens newspapers -- both of them.

You can find some basic help by selecting the Help tab from the gold toolbar at the top of the website page. Get some tips on using search terms and what features you get access to if you register for a free account. And, how to use the clip feature including how to save (right-click the clipped image) the resulting jpg file to your device. Besides Save As to JPG you can download a PDF of the issue using the link above the page image.

Back in March 2022 we learned #DigMountClemens was one of two winners of the #DigMichNews Grant Contest so the earliest Mount Clemens Monitor newspaper issues would be digitized. Thank you to all who #DigMountClemens Twitter voted so Mount Clemens Public Library could be one of the winners for 2022.

So yes Virginia there is a Santa Claus ... in June. Again, have fun and good luck but remember to visit the website again at a later date. It appears not all of the newspaper issues are online yet.

See you someday soon at our favorite library!
