Bozeman Public Library has a variety of resources that are helpful to genealogical research.
Bozeman Daily Chronicle
We have a complete microfilm collection of the Bozeman Daily Chronicle (from 1891 to the present).
Patrons are welcome to use our microfilm and printer reader any time the library is open. The Library's staff can look up a limited number of names/dates in the Chronicle if you are unable to do it yourself. There is no copy fee for the first 5 pages, thereafter, we charge 20 cents/page.
