Where to find maps and old newspapers at the library?

[neo]

Moved to an area with a large library but don't know where to find these old newspapers, as for maps I'm worried because last time I asked them they told me to try the courthouse. That was a few years ago maybe they have someone more knowledgeable now. Would this stuff be in reference section?

Ya i`d ask them again ,the stuff you want should be in the reference area .
Historical paces like small or county museums might have maps too .

Usually reference area like G.A.P. said. Newspapers might be on microfiche or converted to another form to be able to be viewed on a computer.

[FONT=&quot]Harold Eddleman has 10 maps relating to Abbotts Creek. These maps are dated 1770, 1775, 1781-1783, 1783, 1796, 1868, and 20th Century.
