Many Lake County newspapers have been microfilmed and are in the library's collection.  Lakeport Library and Redbud Library in Clearlake have the films and each library has a microfilm reader-printer.

Some of these files, in particular the older issues, are incomplete.   Some Napa County and Sonoma County newspapers are included for the 1860s when Lake County was still young and had no lasting newspaper to call its own.
