Hello Everyone,
Can anyone tell me if the library in Vevay has copies of the old Vevay
Reveille newspapers on microfilm? Is that newspaper, or any newspaper,
still in operation in Vevay? What I need is a copy of the obituary of
my great grandfather who died near Vevay in 1906. I would appreciate any
suggestions as to where I might find it.

Yes as Kathy already stated the library does have
old Vevay Newspapers
on film. The also had the originals, but because of storage reasons I
don't know if that is still true.
The newspaper film goes way back and older newspapers are also on
film. I am reasonably certain 1906 is available.
Vevay Newspapers, Inc. now publishes both the Vevay Reveille-Enterprise
and the Switzerland Democrat (two titles, same paper) as a weekly.
