Milledgeville Historic Newspapers Archive

Tarver Library has added the Milledgeville Historic Newspapers Archive to its database repertoire. This database is produced by the Digital Library of Georgia and is available on the GALILEO Web site or the Tarver Library database listing.


The Milledgeville Historic Newspapers Archive provides online access to eleven newspaper titles published in Milledgeville from 1808 to 1920. Consisting of over 49,000 newspaper pages, the archive provides historical images that are both full-text searchable and can be browsed by date. Because Milledgeville served as the state capital from 1804 to 1868, during the antebellum, Civil War, and Reconstruction periods in the state's history, the site will provide researchers with particular historical insight into Georgia politics during the nineteenth century.
