Some weekly newspapers are available online from recent years (2005+), but the rest of the newspapers on microfilm or online are mostly from the late 1800's and early 1900's, plus a few published between 1950 and 2004.
Note that the number of counties and the county boundaries were significantly different prior to 1925, so the geographic areas covered by these newspapers may not be limited to what is considered their local area today. For example, in 1830 Alachua County stretched from the Georgia border to Ft. Myers, and Mosquito (Orange) County stretched from Ocala to West Palm Beach. Also, coverage of Florida news prior to 1900 might appear in newspapers from other states which had major ports or railroad lines connecting to Florida (e.g., Atlanta, Charleston, New Orleans, and Savannah).
