The Oregon Digital Newspaper Program has always aimed to provide newspapers that represent the geographic diversity of our state. Historic Oregon Newspapers has titles from the biggest cities–Portland, Salem, Eugene–as well as small communities like Nyssa on the far eastern border, Lakeview in the rural south, and Spray in remote central Oregon.
Our map of titles provides a helpful visualization of titles from around Oregon.
We have recently added several new titles to Historic Oregon Newspapers that add even more coverage from the Oregon Coast and northeast corner of the state.
The Upper Left Edge (1992-2001) is a quirky weekly from Cannon Beach.*
The West (1891-1901) was published in Florence.**
Vernonia Eagle (1922-1974), from Columbia County, also includes special editions written by Vernonia High School students.***
Wallowa Chieftain (1884-1909) includes some of the earliest issues from this Union County newspaper.****
