Errors and Omissions

The content of this database was digitized in 2012 from microfilm that was created in the 1970s. Missing issues are the result of issues that were unavailable at the time the microfilm was created.

Every effort has been made to ensure that the database content accurately matches the newspapers contained in each file. If you spot an error (mislabeled months, years, or titles), please contact the Library at [Email Protected]. The full-text searching of the database is based on uncorrected OCR full-text. We have endeavored to correct certain significant errors in the original where it affects the organization of the database (the January 6, 1950 Crisfield Times and the January 7, 1955 Marylander and Herald both have the previous year in their masthead).
