Some additional Florida newspapers are now available in digital format through the advanced news archive search of Google (http://www.google.com/archivesearch/advanced_search). The digital versions of the St. Petersburg Times and Evening Independent have been available for about a year.
These new titles include:
- Ocala Star-Banner (primarily 1950s-1970s, it seems)
- Gainesville Sun (in the 1980s; earlier issues not yet available)
- Boca Raton News (sketchy)
- FSView and Florida Flambeau (papers of FSU, good coverage in 1940s-1970s, and another source on activities in Florida government)
- Lakeland Ledger (primarily 1950s-1980s)
Also, there are a couple of regional papers with substantial coverage that, along with the St. Petersburg Times, may provide a broader national perspective on Florida events. Two with good 20th century coverage that come to mind are the Milwaukee Journal and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
