Newspapers of Early Brainerd Microfilms

Brainerd (Weekly) Tribune

Brainerd (Weekly) Dispatch



Brainerd Tribune Newspaper (weekly)

The following newspapers were digitized using the Historical Society Museum's digital microfilm reader
and are available as Adobe PDF format (www.adobe.com) files. Most issues are 5-8 Megabytes each.

The earliest issue on microfilm is Vol I No. 1, published on February 10, 1872.
A stricken-through date (Dec 13) means that the issue was not microfilmed.
An italicized date (Apr 2) means that the date on the newspaper masthead is
not the usual publication date — it could be right, or it could be printer error.
The Tribune was published on Saturdays.

The December 14, 1878 issue was not published.

Issues from May 13, 1882, through February 26, 1887,
are missing and are not available on microfilm.

The last issue of the weekly Brainerd Tribune was published July 18, 1946. Most issues are available on microfilm at the Crow Wing County Historical Society and the Minnesota Historical Society. Please note, however, that issues spanning the period from May 13, 1882, through February 26, 1887, did not survive and were not available to be microfilmed.



Brainerd Dispatch Newspaper (weekly)

The following newspapers were digitized using the Brainerd Public Library's digital microfilm reader
and are available as Adobe PDF format (www.adobe.com) files. Most issues are 5-8 Megabytes each.

The earliest issue on microfilm is Vol II No. 33, published on August 2, 1883,
after N.H. Ingersoll and F.W. Wieland took over management of the Dispatch.

A stricken-through date (Dec 13) means that the issue was not microfilmed.

An italicized date (Apr 2) means that the date on the newspaper masthead is
not the usual publication date — it could be right, or it could be printer error
(it was published on Thursday through July 31, 1884 and Friday thereafter).
