The Historic Newspaper Indexing Project began in 1980 as an aid to patrons researching Washington County history and genealogy. An Index to Hagerstown Newspapers is a multi-volume subject and personal name index to local and regional news published in weekly and semi-weekly newspapers in Hagerstown, Maryland between 1790 and 1890. The printed volumes covering the period from 1790 to 1844 and 1860 to 1865 are already completed and are on the open shelves at The Washington County Free Library (WCFL) in Hagerstown and in the Reference sections of the county branches. Microfilm of the original newspapers is available for the public's use at the WCFL Information Desk in Hagerstown.
