Q. How do I find newspapers on microfilm in McWherter Library?

The classic catalog will help you to identify the newspapers, journals, and other materials we have on microfilm or microfiche.

Once you've identified the material you need, please fill out the Microform Request Form. After filling out the Microform Request Form, the microfilm requested will be available in three business days. If you have any additional questions, please email or call the Circulation desk at lib_circ@memphis.edu or 901.678.2205.

UofM students, staff, and faculty: In the event that the newspaper is not owned by the University Libraries, it can be requested through Interlibrary Loan. The requested materials are delivered online to your UofM email. Log into your ILLiad account to request. This service is not available for community members.

The University Libraries' Special Collections also holds select newspapers on microfilm. Please schedule an appointment to gain access to microfilm in the Special Collections department.
