Q. Hi. I am interested in locating back issues of the Alexandria Daily Town Talk. Can I find these online or do I need to go to the Alexandria library?

No, I'm sorry we don't have an archive of that paper.

Two places you can try:

1)

The Newspaper Project at Middleton Library at LSU houses microfilm archives of most Louisiana Newspapers.

http://www.lib.lsu.edu/special/cc/lnp.html

(It's not online, but the microfilm is available to the public)


2)

Here's the website for Rapides Parish Public Library.

http://www.rpl.org/

That's the legal-defined journal of record for Alexandria.  If the library doesn't have a copy, contact the Clerk of Court.
