Gift;,The Newton Times newspaper.

The Newton Times was a prize-winning, liberal weekly newspaper which published in Newton, Massachusetts from 1971 to 1980. It was an alternative voice created by anti-war activists who weren't content with coverage of the issues by local newspapers. It served as a force in the community as it reported on social issues, analyzed city and public school budgets, assessed and endorsed political candidates and published a voters' guide before each election. It pushed for removal of asbestos in Newton North High School and raised awareness of Newton's distinctive neighborhoods. It was forced to close because of reduced advertising revenue taken by competing weeklies. The Newton Free Library has the Newton Times on microfilm (v. 1, #1, Sept. 8, 1971-v. 9, #22, Jan. 23, 1980), as well as 51 boxes of photographs from the newspaper's archive and a collection of mock-up maps used with articles. Collection includes photographs of some widely known personalities and local civic leaders, Newton city officials, commissioners, politicians and their family, educators, bee keepers, students, involved citizens, marching band members, artists, writers, athletes, association members, model railroad hobbyists, musicians, gardeners, police officers, bakers, bankers, clergy, physicians, magicians.
