Woonsocket Call Online Archive 1900-1975: Access to the library’s archives is free and can be used from any internet connection. You do not need a library card to use this database. Please click here to visit the Woonsocket Call Archives. Please note: There is an issue with the cropping/clipping tool. Advantage Archives is working to fix it but does not have an estimated time for repair. Here is the workaround: The recommendation is to download the entire PDF.  The download button is located in the lower left-hand corner (when you have a PDF open).  Once the PDF is downloaded, Adobe has a crop tool that can be used to crop portions of the page.  Advantage Archives recommends using Adobe’s snapshot tool to clip until they get the crop tool issue fixed. You can also use the Microsoft snipping tool to save or print the clipped portions.
