Homer News Digital Archive

Have you heard the news? You can now browse through digitized issues of the Homer News at the library!

Sound Publishing, the parent company of the Homer News, partnered with Newspapers.com to digitize past issues of the newspaper and convert them into a searchable online database. All issues of the paper from 1954-2021 are now available through the Newspapers.com website.

Homer Public Library provided the microfilm reels from which the digital images were taken. As part of the collaboration, Newspapers.com provided the library with a free subscription to the entire Homer News archive. Library patrons can search the whole collection by keyword, date and location. Brightness and contrast settings can be adjusted. Articles can be saved for future reference or printed directly from the site.

The archive is available through the digital resources page on the Homer Public Library website. The library’s subscription is only accessible through computers located at the library, but anyone with a personal subscription to Newspapers.com can access the Homer News (and many other papers) from anywhere. Happy reading!
