| The Royal Oak Tribune newspaper digitized and accessible for free. |
The library digitized its microfilm holdings of the Royal Oak Tribune newspaper from November 1877 to September 2019. The run of the newspaper is not complete with every issue. There is just one issue for 1877 and just 12 issues for 1879. The surviving issues then pickup with the year 1908.
The database allows users to search in 25 year increments. There is also a Helpful Search Tips PDF and dtSearch Help PDF located on the Find An Article webpage.
From the Royal Oak Library website, "Users can search by name, subject, keyword, or browse by date. It’s an effective tool for finding local obituaries, local news and sports articles, and feature stories about Royal Oak businesses, organizations, local history, and government decisions. And just like the microfilm, users can browse pages as they were laid out in print. This is particularly helpful for users trying to glean a picture of what life was life in Royal Oak in a given month or year when it comes to the prices of goods and real estate, products being showcased in ads, local happenings in social events columns, and feature articles of local interest. For assistance in accessing or searching the databases, contact the Adult Reference Desk at (248) 246-3727."
Have Fun Searching Everyone!
See you soon at Mt. Clemens Public Library!
