"The Rochester Newspaper Index is a project of the Rochester Public Library.
The database consists of references to articles that appeared in the
Rochester newspapers during the period 1818-1897. The indexing was done in
two time periods: 1818 - 1850 and 1851 - 1897. For a list of the newspapers
indexed and the abbreviations used, please consult the FAQ's.

If you would like to order a copy of an article, please consult the Ordering
Information page for complete details.  Articles may be sent via e-mail, fax
(within the Continental U.S.) or standard post.  Please allow seven (7) days
for the completion of your order.

Please note that in many cases, particularly for the very early newspapers,
articles may be only a line or two long.  Staff cannot look at the newspaper
for you before sending an article, and refunds will not be granted because
an article did not contain the information you were hoping to find. (Please
consult the FAQ's for additional information.)"

We hope that people find this to be useful!
