This CD-ROM contains all five volumes of the Woodville Republican series, covering the following dates: December 18, 1823-December 17,1839, January 4, 1840-October 30, 1847, January 8, 1848-January 9, 1855, June 22, 1878-December 25, 1880 and January 1, 1881-December 22, 1883. The Woodville Republican was established in 1823 and is still being published, which makes it the oldest existing newspaper in Mississippi and one of the oldest in the country. Entries for all volumes are chronologically arranged and an index is included. Abstracts included are marriages, deaths, religious and community activities, court proceedings, military, elections, illness, murders, Masonic Lodge celebrations, divorces, slaves, and many more interesting topics which gives an in-depth look at the life of the times.
The books are presented as graphic images, so the user sees the works just as they were originally published. They are intended to look and function very much like "real" books, i.e., the user looks for entries of interest in the table of contents or index, and then turns to the page cited and scans it for the desired information. Although there are no electronic indexes, numerous electronic bookmarks have been added which make it easy to navigate through the books and indexes, and to jump from one book to another.
