Contemporary News Reports



In the 1880’s and 90’s The “Big City” newspapers from Brandon and Winnipeg did pay attention to events on the “frontier”.

Other records will give us statistics, names and numbers; but it is through newspapers that we get a feel for the times.

* Complete copies of many publications are now available online at www.manitobia.ca.

* Manitoba's Legislative Library has numerous Manitoba Newspapers on Microfilm and available via Inter-Library Loan.
