Where a Run Would Sit — the Holdings Record, at Its Strengths

November 2026 · two lists read; the index itself unreached

Three carriers, kept distinct. First, the route: the Indiana State Library's Newspaper Holdings Guide page was opened and read whole — the Library maintains a microfilm archive, searchable through the Indiana Legacy microfilm-holdings index, most reels borrowable by inter-library loan, digitised titles through Hoosier State Chronicles. Second, the index itself: the Indiana Legacy microfilm-holdings index was not successfully queried for "Lakeville", and that unreach is printed plainly — it remains settler (2) for this build's standing newspaper gap, to be settled by a direct index query on "Lakeville" and on "Standard" under St. Joseph County, or in person at the State Library. Third, the lists that were read: the State Library's original-print holdings page for Indiana cities outside Indianapolis (978 lines) was searched in-page and returns no match for "Lakeville" — the same page does hold North Liberty's News in original print, April 1911 to April 1913, which proves the list is a real list and the absence a real absence at that list's strength. The Mishawaka-Penn-Harris Public Library's county microfilm list (2,672 lines, read whole) likewise carries no Lakeville heading, though it carries the Mishawaka Enterprise from 1858, the South Bend titles, the North Liberty News (1912–1962 runs), and New Carlisle titles. Neither negative settles microfilm holdings; both print at their own strengths, and no Lakeville-title holding was established on any carrier reached.
