Find 1972 Newspaper Article

Job ID: 40116692

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

I’m trying to track down a short human-interest piece that ran on the back pages of a Brooklyn paper in 1972. The story covered boxing great Floyd Patterson’s visit to my father, Dr. Adolph Bartoli, at his chiropractic office (1118 Ave Y, Brooklyn NY 11135). I remember seeing it either in the Daily News or the New York Post, but I’m not completely certain which of the two carried it.

What I need
• A clear scan or high-resolution photo of the entire article, including headline, byline, date, page number and any accompanying photo or caption.
• Basic citation details: newspaper name, exact publication date, section/page, and any additional metadata a library catalogue might provide.

How you might tackle it
You’ll likely need access to microfilm or bound volumes at libraries such as the NYPL, Brooklyn Public Library, or similar repositories, though online databases (ProQuest Historical Newspapers, Newspapers.com, etc.) are fine if they cover this title for 1972. Please be ready to work on-site if a digital source isn’t available and to handle camera or microfilm scanner equipment to capture a clear, legible image.

Acceptance criteria
• Full article located in either the Daily News or New York Post (or proof it appeared elsewhere).
• Delivered file is sharp, readable, and complete.
• Citation data accompanies the image.

If this kind of archival newspaper hunt is in your wheelhouse, let me know how you plan to approach the search, roughly how long you expect it to take, and any prior experience you’ve had working with microfilm or newspaper databases. I’ll cover reasonable library duplication fees once we confirm the article exists.
