-Newspapers are rich in local history. They contain obituaries, birth or death notices, community news (such as the visit of someone's relatives), legal notices and more. See [[Washington Newspapers|Washington Newspapers]] for tips, resources, and details.
+Below is a sortable list of historical {{PAGENAME}}, compiled November, 2013. It provides: 1) links to online copies before 1950's; and libraries where hard copies can be found
-:Note: This list was first generated from 1) ''Chronicling America's'' "US Newspaper Directory, 1690–present"<ref>Library of Congress ''[http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/search/titles/results/?state=Utah&amp;county=Beaver&amp;city=&amp;year1=1690&amp;year2=2012&amp;terms=&amp;frequency=&amp;language=&amp;ethnicity=&amp;labor=&amp;material_type=&amp;lccn=&amp;rows=20 Chronicling America]'', accessed October 2013</ref> and 2) Washington Secretary of State, and 3) University of Washington. Additional newspapers may be found in [[Washington Archives and Libraries|Archives and Libraries]].
+The newspapers are listed by the area they served, so some may have been published in other counties or even out of state.
+{{FYI|Newspapers have increasingly come online starting in the late 1980's. See [http://www.onlinenewspapers.com/usstate/uswashin.htm OnlineNewspapers.com], [http://www.refdesk.com/wa.html RefDesk.com], or do a Google search for '''Online Newspapers'''.}}<noinclude>[[Category:Templates_for_WA_pages]] [[Category:WikiProject_Washington]]</noinclude>
