About the Collection

The Asbury Park Press newspaper, the long-time local newspaper of Asbury Park, New Jersey, is available at our library in microfilm from 1876 to the present. We keep hard copies of the paper for the current and previous months. The collection, though comprehensive, is not entirely complete, particularly for the earlier years. In addition, we regularly lend microfilm out through our Interlibrary Loan process, so if you are traveling a long distance, or are otherwise making a special trip to the library for the purposes of microfilm research, we recommend that you call ahead of time to make certain we have on hand the dates you need to access.
