SCOPE OF INDEX: This is a subject and name index to articles appearing in the Nebraska State Journal. The articles are not limited to Lincoln NE news, but are generally devoted to Nebraska persons and events. Usually the subject matter of the article is summarized. This is not a comprehensive index to the newspaper for the years covered. Vital records such as births, deaths and marriages have been removed and filed in the NEBRASKA NEWSPAPER INDEX (see LATHROP REPORT 1146C). |
FORMAT OF INDEX: A 3x5 card file index, handwritten. Both subjects and personal names are interfiled in the same alphabet. Entries consist of a brief description of the article. The citation is shown in the upper right hand corner of the card and consists of an abbreviation for the newspaper (N.S.J.) followed by the date (mo-dy-yr), page and column. |
SIZE OF INDEX: About 30,000 entries (30,000) cards) in the entire index. |
