Online Knoxville Newspapers
Purpose
I wanted to create a linkable chart that focused on Knoxville (Tenn.) newspapers that are available online.
Key
- GB = GenealogyBank.com (pay site, subscription required)
- N = Newspapers.com (pay site, subscription required)
- CA = Chronicling America at the Library of Congress (free)
- KCPL = Knox County Public Library - via NewsBank (must have library card)
- GN = Google News Archive (free)
Notes
- This list is current, to the best of my knowledge, as of June 21, 2020.
- Several of the online sites are continuing to update their holdings.
- The Google News archive is dormant.
- Some titles, especially Brownlow's papers, frequently changed their names. I have not done a close study, but they could be considered the same paper.
- Chart columns are sortable.
- GenealogyBank.com includes titles with only obituaries. I have decided to not include them.
