Research links
for California

This page, and the companion Research page, exist to support composing new articles about newspapers (current and/or historical) in the state of California.

This is a work in progress; please feel free to tidy up or organize the lists if you see a need!

This page lists newspapers. Some already have a Wikipedia article, but it needs improvement of some kind; others don't have a Wikipedia article at all, and may or may not qualify for one under Wikipedia's notability standards.

The Research page records notes and bibliographic information about books and articles (some online, some not) that cover California newspapers, which may be used as reference materials to support writing or improving these articles.
