Lombard Historical Newspapers Digitatizing Project

Lombard has a rich history, and a great resource to learn from is our local newspapers. Scanning our newspaper collection is going to be an ongoing process, but we are currently scanning our hardcopy issues and as they become digitized, we will be sharing them here. Each issue has been scanned and is a searchable pdf. Please note that due to the quality of some of the newspapers some scans are distorted.
