• Periodical List

We have a complete run of the Austin American-Statesman since 1871 on microfilm.  We do not retain original copies of this title beyond three months from publication date.  See the Austin American-Statesman Resource Guide for a listing of the indexes available for accessing the paper.  Access to the microfilm is chronological.  It is not possible to search for a person's name on the film. If you are searching for an obituary, you will need a date of death to begin your search.  The Austin History Center performs obituary searches as a paid service.  Please see our reference services for more information. The Library also subscribes to a database with historical coverage of the Statesman and two other databases with recent coverage.
