Winona City Newspaper Database - Maintenance

There have been reported issues with indexing of the Winona City Newspaper database.  It appears there may be a retrieval issue, when Keyword searching, in various years of the databases. 

A full re-indexing has been requested and is in progress, however this will take time over the next few weeks.  

You may continue to have retrieval errors until this re-indexing is complete.  We apologize for any inconvenience and hope to have it back to normal over the next few weeks.
