Kate's notes: A number of newspapers have been published throughout Portsmouth's history, including: the Portsmouth Blade(weekly); Portsmouth Correspondent (weekly); Portsmouth Daily Evening Tribune; Portsmouth Inquirer (weekly); Morning Star of Portsmouth; Portsmouth Morning Sun; Portsmouth Press (weekly); the Western Times (weekly, 1820's) and the Portsmouth Times, also known as the Portsmouth Daily Times. In addition, The Valley Sentinel may have been a supplement to The Portsmouth Times.
The Portsmouth Public Library houses a collection of microfilms of various Portsmouth newspapers. The Ohio Historical Society also has in its collection a number of these microfilms which are available for purchase.
Five articles have been donated by Nancy Downard, and I have transcrbed and added others. Additional submissions and volunteers to assist in transcription are always appreciated!
