How to Access Newspapers
In 2026, approximately 66,000 pages of additional historic Stillwater Gazette newspapers will be digitized and added to the Minnesota Historical Society’s Minnesota Digital Newspaper Hub, joining a large existing collection of digitized newspapers from Washington County and other communities around the state. The newspapers can be browsed by date, or searched.
