How can I get a copy of an article or obituary from the Bemidji Pioneer?
Answer
As a special service to individuals, the staff of the BSU Interlibrary Loan Office fulfill requests for copies from The Bemidji Pioneer newspaper.
Some content from The Bemidji Pioneer is available online via the Chronicling America: https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/newspapers/minnesota/
- The full-text of the Bemidji Daily Pioneer (1904-1922) is searchable and browseable via Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers, a website hosted by the Library of Congress.
- The Bemidji Pioneer (1896-1903 inclusive) and the Daily Pioneer (1903-1904 inclusive) are also available through the Chronicling America website.
All other dates are owned in microfilm format by Bemidji State University and are available for this special service. BSU Interlibrary Loan staff do not provide extensive research, but will search in up to ten issues for an item when given a particular or approximate date of publication. After a request is placed, it may take up to one week for it to be filled. Individuals may contact the BSU Interlibrary Loan staff directly at interlibraryloan@bemidjistate.edu or (218) 755-2968 to request this service.
