Types of Research Requests

Obituary/Death Notice Searches
The Reference Department staff will search the newspaper microfilm for a death notice or obituary. A complete date-of-death (MM/DD/YYYY) is required for this search. Staff will search a single newspaper over a span of five days if the exact date of the month is not known.


City Directory Searches
The Reference Department staff will search the Huntington City Directory for one individual name for a period of no more than five years. If an individual name is not found, staff will provide copies of the pages containing that particular surname.


Newspaper Article Search
The Herald-Dispatch newspaper is not indexed. Therefore, the Reference Department staff can only search for news articles when the exact date-of-publication is provided.

Please provide as much detailed information as possible to assist us in the search (i.e. names, dates, places, related-events, photo description, etc.).

Request a copy of an article and/or announcement.
