- When you click on Search for Newspapers, use the filters on the left to refine the results. Clicking on Subject-City and checking the box next to Eveleth will display only newspapers from Eveleth.
- To search for specific terms, click on Search at the top of the screen. For example, if you search for "hockey," there should be seven issues of Eveleth newspapers in the results.
- If you don't find results in Eveleth newspapers, try adding "Eveleth" to your search terms and use filters to search newspapers in other cities. If you use the Subject-County filter, checking the box next to St. Louis County will bring up newspapers from Duluth, Tower, Virginia, and Eveleth.
- If you search for specific terms, the words should be highlighted when you open an issue.
- Try using variations of your search terms if you aren't finding results. Northside Park, for example, might appear as "North Side Park." Names might be abbreviated, such as Chas. for Charles or Wm. for William.
