Santa Clara Newspaper Index (1950s–1980s)
This index is a digital finding aid for articles in local Santa Clara newspapers (e.g., Santa Clara American, Santa Clara Voice) from the 1950s to the 1980s. These articles are not available online.
The index contains over 27,000 entries painstakingly transcribed from 17 card catalogs by three volunteers during a five-year project, that began during the COVID-19 shutdown.
Getting an Article Copy
After finding an entry, you have two options to get the full article:
- In-Person: Look up the newspaper on microfilm at the Santa Clara Central Park Library.
- Request Service: For a small fee, request our volunteer researchers locate and email you a copy.
For the Request Service, you must provide the index’s newspaper code, date, and page/column location.
