There are many resources available in our department.  Our department has [[Newspapers|newspapers]] on microfilm dating back to 1822.  This resource may be very time consuming but very rewarding.  Newspapers dating before 1870s do not include much local news.  You may find the occasional [[Marriage|marriage]] or [[Necrology|death]] announcement.  You may find listings of estate sales and legal notices that may provide clues to other resources to consider.

### HEADER ###
  
As the turn of the 20th century approaches, the local newspapers were social columns.  Such items as [[Birth|births]], [[Marriage|marriage]], and [[Necrology|death]] announcements may be listed.  Also, you may find information on who is visiting who and where the visit takes place.  Information about [[Military|military]], and community involvement may be found. [[Wayne County School Reunions]], [[Family Reunions|family reunions]], and information pertaining to local [[Churches|churches]] and [[Business|businesses]] may be mentioned.

Through the years, many newspapers articles have been clipped on specific topics.  Some of these may be found in the [[Lateral files|lateral files]].  Other clippings may be found in a variety of 3-ring notebooks and organized according to subject.  Information on historical [[Portal:Business/Directory|businesses]] may be found in the [[Business history|business]] collection and township articles in the township notebooks.  Some of the information will become available through the Wayne County (OH) Wiki.

The local history portal focuses on history of [[Wayne County, Ohio]] including township histories and information pertaining to the towns and cities of long ago through present day.  It is the desire to provide information on businesses, churches, schools, residences, non-profit organizations, military information and many other components of history. When available, digital images will be uploaded to the Wayne County (OH) Wiki to enhance the experience of our researchers.  However, to compile a comprehensive history of [[Wayne County, Ohio]], it takes time and volunteers--both of which are in great demand.  If your are interested in helping "populate" the local history portal, please contact Deb in the [[Genealogy and Local History Department]].
