Mississippi Online Historical Newspapers Summary

​Mississippi is one of the states that does not have a central online state repository for searching historical newspapers. Several states use the Library of Congress Chronicling America site as their main central online site for searching old newspapers and Mississippi has most of its online newspapers available on that site. Mississippi also has additional newspapers from other websites. Some are free and many require a subscription. Below is a list of where the titles are stored and the link so that you can access them.

There are over 1,500 newspapers that have been published in the Magnolia State – certainly not all of them are searchable online. But there are quite a few that are indeed available. So go for it – find your Mississippi ancestors and all the interesting articles that capture the stories of their lives. 

Please note that I have not always entered the dates that are included in the collections, as I suspect they will change as more items are digitized. Also, I suspect that some of these links may change over time – so if there is a dead link – please use your favorite search engine to find their new location.
