OU Libraries has completed digitizing a portion of the Pontiac Press newspaper, spanning August 17, 1953 to December 31, 1969. These digitized issues capture a transformative period in local history, covering Oakland County's rapid suburban growth and demographic shifts, as well as chronicling important developments in the history of our own Oakland University. In addition to offering a unique window into the social, economic, and political landscape of Oakland County, the collection includes coverage of the civil rights movement, automotive industry developments, and significant local history such as the Detroit Rebellion of 1967. This resource will be of particular interest to researchers interested in labor history, the automotive industry, and urban planning. The collection also contains classifieds, political cartoons, community events, and advertisements, providing a rich cultural snapshot of southeast Michigan.
