The Rochester Newspaper Index is a project of the Rochester Public Library. The database consists of references to articles that appeared in the Rochester newspapers during the period 1818-1897. The indexing was done in two time periods: 1818 – 1850 and 1851 – 1897. For a list of the newspapers indexed and the abbreviations used, please consult the Frequently Asked Questions. Newspapers from 1898-1903 have been indexed in a card catalog file available in the Local History Division. This portion of the index has not been digitized and is not available online.
If you would like to order a copy of an article or articles, please use the Rochester Newspaper Index Order Form. There is no cost for articles, and you can order up to five (5) articles per form. Articles can be delivered physically by mail, or electronically via email or an e-file sharing system such as Dropbox or Google. Please consult the FAQs page for additional information.
