CLEVELAND NEWSPAPER DIGEST

WPA Project 16823

I

Introduction:

In the Annals of Cleveland, an attempt is made to answer a need long felt by scholars; that of preserving and making readily accessible the detailed record of a city's life and culture as contained in its

newspapers. The Annals are to be a set of at least one volume per year, covering the years 1818 1935, and including an abstract of every newspaper story that has recorded a local event or expressed a local opinion. In previous volumes, covering the years 1818 to 1875 inclusive, abstracts were filed under some several hundred subject headings. In the years after 1875 it was found necessary to change this arrangement, inasmuch as it became increasingly difficult to assign an abstract to a single subject. The abstracts in this volume, therefore, are filed chronologically under six general subject divisions - Cultural Forces; Economic Life and Institutions; Foreign Affairs; Government and Politics; Social Forces and Customs; and Trivia. An analysis of the abstracts with respect to the standard subject headings used throughout the series is made by the index which also includes all

proper names.

The editors have sought to preserve and arrange in this series information that is nowhere else available and readily subject to con

trol. To avoid duplication they have concentrated their efforts on one

major newspaper file the principal one of the period. This method

leaves out of account the diversity of opinion expressed by other news
