I have to direct you to Virginia Chronicle at the Library of Virginia. The link is here: http://virginiachronicle.com. This collection contains 101,299 issues comprising 795,935 pages and 122,203 articles (and counting). The LVA will continue to draw on its collection of over 3,000 Virginia and West Virginia imprints to continue to expand our online offerings. Many of these are titles that we have made available to Chronicling America because they fall outside of the scope of that project.
.
Please refer to the Project’s Research Guides and Indexes on the Library of Virginia site for a comprehensive overview of the available resources for newspaper research. To search specific newspaper titles and holdings here at the Library, as well as holdings at select repositories, visit the Newspapers in Virginia Bibliography
Let me know if you have any questions and keep up the great work.
Best,
John Metz, Ph.D.
