The Master Instrument: The Library's Published Holdings List

The exact page text, read by your browser's voice.

St. Joseph County, Indiana Newspapers — the Mishawaka-Penn-Harris Public Library's published holdings list (library PDF, updated October 2025), read in full

What it is: before this build read a single issue, it read the map: the public library's own published list of the county's newspaper holdings, read whole by the Newspapers leg. Every run, hole and title-only survival in this part is stated from that list, checked against the library's Local & Family History materials page — which styles the library's film span as "1853–present," a summary the title-by-title runs in the list itself correct and govern wherever the two differ.

Its standing, from this build's experience: a holdings list is a claim about a collection, and this one proved exact where the build could test it — the Enterprise film's resumption at the fire issue of 7 September 1872 (below) is the list's own statement, and the Mysteries leg's archive finding (four papers surviving as titles only) is the list read whole, not a sampling.

Where it fails: a list cannot say why a run ends. The Enterprise film's last reel is 26 December 2019; the paper stands in the newspaper industry's 2025 planning data as a paid Thursday weekly — the end of a film run is not a cessation, and this build does not print it as one.
