______________________________________
Ohio is one of the states that does have a single 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 many of Ohio’s free newspapers are available on the Library of Congress site. There are many free online newspapers available on other sites and there are collections available on subscription sites. Below is a list of where the titles are stored and the link so that you can access them.
There are over 7,500 newspapers that have been published in the Buckeye 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 Ohio 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.

The paper you have listed for Chillicothe, Ohio –
• Chillicothe Constitution Tribune Newspaper Archives 1889-2009
is actually for Chillicothe, Missouri.
Thank you Sandy for pointing that out. It as been removed from the list.
Kenneth,
Thanks for this list. I have several ancestors from Ohio.
I want to let you know that your blog post is listed in my Fab Finds post today at http://janasgenealogyandfamilyhistory.blogspot.com/2014/02/follow-friday-fab-finds-for-february-21.html
Have a great weekend!
Thank you Jana!
I am looking for the death of an ancestor, Daniel D Davies. I found him and his family in the 1880 census. They were living in Bridgeport, Belmont Ohio and he was working in a Rolling Mill. His wife shows up widowed in PA in 1900. I started looking for answers in old newspapers. I found a site that said my ancertor was mentioned in 2 articles in the Gallipolis Journal. The first was 24 July 1884 (Page 3 Column 1) and the second 31 July 1884 (Page 2 Column 4). The link this site had was no longer viable. I was wondering if you could help me or point me in the right direction?
Thanks so much for your help.
Beverly
I wish I knew the largest city/town that had at least a weekly paper during the early 1800’s near Kirtland, Lake, Ohio, where some of my ancestors resided before moving on to Wisconsin.
The Painesville Telegraph. It is in FamilySearch Images, put Painesville in the search box.
Ohio National Digital Newspapers Project …this link does not work
Can’t find the Lebanon, Ohio links in Chronicling America site.
I’m sorry Sue. I messed up. I will fix now
I just checked for those links. They are not available from either Chronicling America or Ohio Memory yet. So sorry.
No problem Kenneth. I love your site!!!
Wow! The state by state lists of newspaper resources is fantastic! Thank you for taking the time to pull all these resources together.
We recently had 40 rolls of (mainly) Wauseon Ohio newspapers digitized by Advantage Preservation. The website is: fultoncounty.advantage-preservation.com. This should go under the listing for Fulton County Ohio.
Also, I noticed that the Delta Atlas is listed under “Other Free Sites”. This collection is actually accessible through the Delta Public Library at: https://deltapubliclibrary.org/ and click on newspaper archives.
