I have been asked to post a request for assistance in locating original copies (not microfilm) of newspapers that can be filmed or photographed. The list of needs is: ~~~~~ Hannibal Journal (1851--1853) September 16, 1852 May 6, 1853 September 8, 1853 (masthead from any of the papers during Twain's tenure there) (I understand that the State Historical Society of Missouri at Columbia, has original copies of the "Hannibal Journal" but will not allow them to be filmed or photographed under any circumstances. For whatever reasons, I'm not sure.) Daily Territorial Enterprise (Sept. 1862--May, 1864) February 3, 1863 (masthead from any of the papers during Twain's tenure there) Daily Morning Call (May--October, 1864) The Golden Era (1864) The Saturday Press of New York November 18, 1865 Sacramento Union April, 1866 Alta California, 1866-1867 October 2, 1866 December 10, 1866 June 30, 1867 Buffalo Express Thursday, August 26, 1869 Hartford Courant April 20, 1894 St. Louis Post Dispatch Friday, May 30, 1902 ~~~~~ If anyone has access to or knowledge of location of any of the above original resources (not microfilm), please email me at: [log in to unmask] Thanks, Barb
