The Library of Virginia Newspaper Index

This is primarily a subject only index to articles appearing in the Richmond-Times Dispatch and the Richmond News Leader between the 1940's and 1985. Articles about individuals are most frequently found under the subject heading Biography. However, a personal name may be used occasionally as a subject heading. This file was developed and maintained by the staff of the Reference Department until the indexing of these two Richmond papers became available from a commercial vendor.
