Local historic papers made available online
The Record-Journal of Douglas County’s publications from 1923 to
1941 have been added to the Colorado Historic Newspapers
Collection. Historic Douglas County newspapers now available at
www.coloradohistoricnewspapers.org
include the Castle Rock Journal (1881- 1908), the Record-Journal of
Douglas County (1908- 1941), West Creek Mining News, and the
Nighthawk Mountain Echo (1897- 1900).
The collection’s expansion spans 18 years of newspaper
publishing, and was made possible through the cooperative effort of
the Colorado State Library, Colorado Community Newspapers and the
Douglas County History Research Center at Douglas County
Libraries.
Colorado Community Newspapers holds the newest editions’
copyrights and granted the Colorado State Library permission to
digitize the newspapers in an agreement among James Duncan of the
Colorado State Library, Asa Cole, retired publisher of CCN, and
Rochelle Logan, associate director of Douglas County Libraries.
