ABOUT THE INFORMATION STATION

The St. Petersburg Times Information Station is a fee-based research service designed to provide businesses and individuals with fast in-depth research of articles from the newspaper's files. Whether you're compiling data for a business move, court case or research paper, or want to find out about a person, corporation or general topic, we can help! Instead of plowing through miles of microfilm--or going without--you can tap into the Times Information Station by calling (727) 893-8911.

BENEFITS

  • A complete database of articles published in the St. Petersburg Times.
  • A rapid and efficient computer system that allows us to retrieve the information you need within minutes.
  • Letter quality laser-jet printers that produce clean and easy-to-read research results.

LAWYERS

Newspaper articles are frequently needed as background material for cases or as general resources. In the past, law firms have been forced to go through laborious and often fruitless searches to find the articles they want. Let the St. Petersburg Times Information Station do it for you, because your time is worth our effort!

STUDENTS AND READERS

Simply call the Information Station and tell us your research topic. We'll run it through the database of stories that have appeared in the St. Petersburg Times and print out a list of articles which may be helpful. You can then take the list of headlines, dates, page numbers and sections to a library where you can make copies of the articles from microfilm.
