Articles published prior to March of 1994 are more difficult to research. Our staff has limited availability for individual public research. The Portland Public Library's Portland room (207-871-1700) has indexed many of the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram's news stories. The Maine Historical Society (207-774-1822) also may be able to help. The Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram do not perform genealogical research or lengthy personal research. You can e-mail us or you may call (207) 791-6393 detailing your research needs. We'll let you know what we can do.

You can also search other newspapers across the country.

Photographs are not available through this service. You may order photo reprints here.
