Extra, extra, read all about it!

Did you know that the El Paso Public Library has a resource available to library patrons to access news articles from the El Paso Times and the El Paso Herald as far back as 1881?!?!

Ever wondered what the price of eggs was in 1958? (53 cents by the way ;)

Looking for articles from when you starred on your high school football team?  

Maybe you're a student looking for more sources for that paper you're writing?


The ProQuest Historical Newspapers: El Paso Herald/El Paso Times database can be accessed at any of the El Paso Public Libraries or even from your own home with a valid library card!

To help the library staff at the many locations around town, the Border Heritage Department has begun giving hands-on training so that any of the library staff should be able to assist in using this valuable resource. 



This short instructional video will show you just how easy accessing these newspapers can be from any El Paso Public Library location.
