Union-Bulletin Inquiries

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

1. Microfilms are available on the ground (first) floor of Penrose Library in the Whitman College and Northwest Archives and may be accessed Monday through Friday 10:00-noon and 1:00-4:00.
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.
