You can contact the paper and ask for a specific copy of one,(if you know which it is) or you can search through old papers at the library. They keep them on microfiche.

Go to the library do research by asking them what to do. They have all the old papers.

I work for a newspaper. Lots of newspapers now have their archives right on their Web site. It might cost a couple bucks to get the story, but it's definitely the most convenient and immediate way to do it!

go to your local library and see if they have that machine that holds all the old newspapers. It put it in like a slideshow or something.
