Two ways to gain access to articles and obituaries published in the Walla Walla Union-Bulletin or other local newspapers:

(1) Microfilms are available in the main (second) floor of the Penrose Library and may be accessed when the library is open to the general public. 

(2) Freelance researchers unaffiliated with the archives are available to locate and copy articles and obituaries for a fee.  Research fees must be paid in advance, whether or not the search yields the desired articles. The research fee schedule is as follows:

• $25.00 minimum charge for up to one hour of research.  Patrons will be contacted if the first hour of research yields no results.
• $12.50 per half hour after the first hour
• Each hour of research includes 20 copies.  Additional copies cost 10¢ per page.
• Large numbers of copies or CDs may require additional charges for postage or supplies.
• Please make all payments by check, payable to the individual researcher.
