The Historic Oregon Newspapers site has expanded its scope to include born-digital current newspapers from participating publishers around the state! News from 2015 and beyond is current now, but in a number of years it will become “historic,” so we are getting started early.
Traditionally, the University of Oregon Libraries has microfilmed the majority of newspapers from around Oregon, but microfilm production is becoming increasingly unviable. As we phase out our microfilm production operation, we are now working directly with publishers to make their current content keyword searchable and freely available to the public online at http://oregonnews.uoregon.edu. The following newspapers are now becoming available for 2015 and beyond. Use the “calendar view” to browse issues, or do a keyword search for specific content:
- Astoria – The Daily Astorian
- Baker City – Baker County Press
- Cannon Beach – Cannon Beach Gazette
- Cottage Grove – Cottage Grove Sentinel
- Dallas – Polk County Itemizer Observer
- Enterprise – Wallowa County Chieftain
- Florence – Siuslaw News
- Grand Ronde – Smoke Signals
