Winfield Area Newspapers Fully Digitized

Winfield Public Library Posted on July 1, 2025 by Tabitha HoganJuly 1, 2025

Thanks to significant funding from the V.J. Wilkins Foundation and generous donations to the Legacy Foundation’s 2024 Great Give campaign, the Winfield Public Library’s microfilm collection from 1922-2020 has been digitized. This collection of area newspapers is fully text searchable through our library website.

Newspapers older than 1922 are available in full digital format online at the Kansas Historical Society. Together, these two resources provide complete digitized web access to Winfield newspapers.

This project also furthers a partnership with the Cowley Courier Traveler and the Arkansas City Public Library to provide access on the website to local newspapers (over 4 years old) going forward. WPL and ACPL will collaborate to cover the cost of future digitization needs.

The V.J. Wilkins Foundation’s mission is to support the community of Arkansas City and Cowley County, Kansas, by fostering a rich cultural environment through arts, music, language, and other endeavors. Their support ensures that Winfield’s history and culture will be accessible worldwide for future generations.
