Tennessee Newspapers

About

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 ask questions there. The group is Tennessee Genealogy Indexing. You can also email us at tn.genealogy.indexing@gmail.com.
