In 1999, Fremont Public Library started microfilming two weekly newspapers, the Mundelein Review and the Mundelein News. In the interests of making the microfilm more useful, an indexing project was started. Staff members and volunteers are working on this project. We started with the Review; as our volunteer corps grew we were able to also start indexing the News. In 2005, Fremont Public Library added a database called "America's Newpapers" which included coverage of the Mundelein Review. Therefore, the library stopped producing an index to this newspaper in the middle of 2005. Fremont Public Library cardholders may access this database from home - go to our Research page. People not living in our library district may contact our reference department for assistance. Please e-mail us or call us at 847-918-3206.

This index covers general news stories, editorials, letters to the editor and recipes. We do not index the police blotter, property transfer records, sports scores, calendar items (such as announcements of club meetings), legal notices or ads.

Vital records are indexed separately.
