Library Loop: Check out collection of Tahoe World newspapers from 60s, 70s
Come check out the Tahoe City Library’s collection of Tahoe World newspapers dating from 1963 to 1977. These newspapers are a source of information that can give us insight into the political, social, and cultural events that shaped the history of North Lake Tahoe.
They contain articles, editorials, and other types of content that reflect the attitudes and values of the people who lived here during that period. The newspapers also capture the language and slang of this time, as well as the cultural references and icons of the era. The advertisements reflect the prices of real estate, the cost of a carton of milk, and showcase the local businesses.
Not only are these newspapers immensely amusing for longtime locals, but can be a valuable resource for researchers, historians, and anyone interested in exploring the history of North Lake Tahoe.
The collection is available for in-house browsing only.
