Are there any free news archives out there?

Question

I'm trying to look for some old articles of my dad bmx racing in 1984. He said his races were in the paper all the time. The only problem is that every time i finally find some hope of finding the old newspaper from Roseburg, Oregon, i have to pay to keep researching...help please??

Answer 1

Sometimes libraries archive newspaper articles on microfilm.  Call the Rosebrug, Oregon library and see if it might be there.
