MADISON EAGLE Microfilms in the Madison Public Library

Many of the old Eagle newspapers have been captured on microfilm and are available for viewing in the Madison Library. The Madison Historical Society has compiled a card file index to the films, covering PEOPLE and TOPICS, which greatly helps doing research with the films.
It is fascinating to see the old newspapers, especially the old advertisements.
