The town on the line between Kent and Sussex counties had a strong Delaware product, the weekly Milford Chronicle.\u00a0 It started publishing in 1883 and each week the editors\u2019 packed the pages with fresh, insightful area news from the town and nearby neighborhoods.\u00a0 When investigating downstate subjects, the strength and quality of this serial usually makes it one to check out for the pages are crammed with original, local news. \u00a0\u00a0The library has carried the run of the Chronicle forward to present times.\u00a0 A paper of more recent origin, the Beacon was also digitized.<\/p>\n

These professionally scanned, high-quality images are valuable and join a growing body of digitized Delaware newspapers.\u00a0 Thank you Milford Public Library.<\/p>\n
