Newspaper Index

 

The Southern Regional News Index is a selective index of articles from local Dunedin and Otago newspapers and other sources. Subjects covered include:

  • Biographical - major stories about local and regional people
  • Obituaries of local and regional people
  • Local and regional issues of current and future importance

 

The online Southern Regional News Index database contains records dated from 1993 onwards, and some earlier periods, for example the 1850s, the 1930s and 1940s.  

 

Search the online index

 

The earlier newspaper index (covering publications from 1851 to 1992) is recorded on cards. Until recently, these hand-written cards could only be accessed by visiting the Dunedin City Library. They can now be browsed on this site, and we are recruiting volunteers to type the entries so they can be machine-searched.
