Montgomery County Historical Newspapers Online

Descendants of Montgomery County ancestors will find that the online published newspapers are well covered from the mid 1880s through 1930, but then there’s a desert of available images. This is largely due to the copyright of issues less than 75 years ago.

Another unfortunate circumstance is most of the available issues online have been placed under a paywall and are not freely available unless you use a link directly from the Kansas Digital Newspapers Program. I’ve provided that for you directly below.
