Newspaper collections are found in the state library and most large libraries, but local societies and libraries in the area of geographical interest should also be queried.

Yonge Library of Florida History in Gainesville, whose Catalog, 4 vols lists newspapers as early as the St. Augustine-East Florida Herald of 1823.
