Archive Search

The Portland Press Herald / Maine Sunday Telegram’s archive contains staff-written and other selected articles from 2010 to present. There is also some content older than that.

Articles published prior to 2010 are more difficult to research. Our staff has limited availability for individual public research. The Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram do not perform genealogical research or lengthy personal research.

The Portland Public Library’s Portland Room (207) 871-1700 Ext. 747 has a Maine News Index card catalog covering most major stories between 1945-1992 from the Portland Press Herald, Maine Sunday Telegram and Evening Express, an online Maine News Index that includes abstracts of most major stories in the Portland Press Herald and Maine Sunday Telegram from 1993-2004, and a microfilm collection that includes the Portland Press Herald, Maine Sunday Telegram and Evening Express. The Portland Room does not have an obituaries index.. All Maine residents can also use MARVEL! Maine’s Virtual Library to access the Maine Newsstand database with full-text coverage of the Portland Press Herald from September 30, 1995 to the present. The Maine Historical Society (207) 774-1822 also may be able to help.
