Check with your local library about accessing PERSI through HeritageQuest (currently available at all participating Michigan public libraries)

A complete set of Impressions is available at the Ann Arbor District Library (www.aadl.org) and the Washtenaw County Historical Society (www.washtenawhistory.org) The index was edited for the Internet by Jan E. Tripp and Carol Wargelin, 2009-10.
