Tennessee Newspapers

Welcome to the Tennessee Historical Newspaper Indexing project. The newspaper pages provided here are ready for indexing.

Our interest is in local news only - news specific to Tennessee (and communities in bordering states). Please do not index national news. For detailed instructions, visit https://bit.ly/tn-newspaper-indexing-guidelines. We also have video instructions in a YouTube playlist- https://bit.ly/tnhistnews-training.

Visit the Tennessee Newspaper Index to search the entries as we migrate them into the database.

Want to work on papers from a specific location? Newspapers from the following counties are currently available on the site; choose a county to jump to those papers: Anderson, Benton, Carroll, Davidson, Dickson, Grainger, Hardeman, Jefferson, Knox, Lincoln, Madison, Maury, Obion, Rutherford, Sullivan

We have a Facebook group dedicated to this project! You can join and come ask questions there! The group is Tennessee Genealogy Indexing. You can also email us at tn.genealogy.indexing@gmail.com
