Newspapers

Some newspaper articles have been transcribed and can be found in the USGenWeb Archives Project for Edgefield County.  If you have articles to transcribe and contribute, please click here or here.

The most extensive collection of newspapers that I am currently aware of resides in The University of South Carolina. The South Carolina Historical Society also is said to have a collection though what they have may actually be contained with books, rather than the newspapers themselves.

The Edgefield Advertiser, the oldest newspaper in South Carolina. The Tompkins Library in Edgefield has microfilm of this newspaper back to 1836  (see Libraries).

Through support from an IMLS grant and in collaboration with Project Perseus at Tufts University, the University of Richmond has digitized the Richmond Daily Dispatch newspaper for the Civil War years.  The project is not yet complete.  However the newspaper is now available for use and exploration.  We welcome your comments and feedback on this work in progress; just click on the survey link on the newspaper's homepage at http://dlxs.richmond.edu/d/ddr/index.html.  We hope this will be useful to a broad audience encompassing scholars, students, genealogists, Civil War buffs, re-enactors, and more.  Please feel free to bring it to the attention of other librarians and interested parties.
