The Newspapers as Sources: A Lineage, a Directory Record, and Film in Walkerton

1892 – 1962 and after · the branch pass runs whole in Pass NL-7

The town's papers are a source before they are a subject: Howard gives their lineage, the federal directory confirms the surviving paper's record whole, and the run itself survives on film at the Walkerton museum — while the full Newspapers & Media branch pass stands assigned to this build's Pass NL-7 and runs there. The scoping prints first, so no reader mistakes this article for the branch pass: this build's own forward plan assigns the newspapers and media material to the civic-and-culture pass, NL-7, where the Herald and the News will be dug whole as institutions. What the sources leg owns is the papers as evidence — their dates, their records, and where a checker can read them. The Herald was published for nearly four years. On March 23, 1895, publication of the North Liberty News was begun by its present editor and proprietor, Mr. Dell M. Woodward." About 1903 a third paper, the North West Indianian, "was started at North Liberty but continued only about a year." The Commercial nomination's narrative corroborates the Herald at its strength — established 1892, operated four years, its office identified on the Sanborn maps — and carries Woodward as the News's publisher in the early 1900s.North Liberty NewsMiller's Indiana Newspaper BibliographyLiberty Herald of Liberty, in Union County, carries three LCCNs of its own in the same directory, and they are a different paper's numbers and must not be borrowed.Independent-NewsThe News's own run survives on microfilm for 1912–1962 at the Walkerton Heritage Museum, on Pass 1's record from the historical society's own page; its years before 1912 are unlocated on film in either pass.
