Historic Newspapers



Last year, we began the Digital Archives of MCDL, an online resource in which historic Medina County, Ohio newspapers can be searched by keywords. This year, we added more years of the Medina County Gazette (now up to 1965), plus we’ve added several newspapers from Brunswick including:

  • Brunswick Signal (1936-1936)
  • Brunswick Citizen (1958-1958)
  • The Brunswick Reporter (1960-1960)
  • Tri-County News (1970-1970)
  • The County Line (1973-1975)
  • Brunswick Times And The County Line (1975-1975)
  • Brunswick Times (1975-1978)
