How do I search for past stories and obituaries at Johnson City Press.com?

Located at the top of each page at Johnson City Press.com is a "Site Search" feature that allows users to type in keywords, such as names of people, places, businesses and events that have appeared in local stories and headlines that have been published at Johnson City Press.com since its debut on the World Wide Web on Sunday, April 1, 2001.

Only items that have appeared at Johnson City Press.com since April 1, 2001, will be available in our online archives through the "Site Search" feature. The Johnson City Press currently has no plans to archive stories and obituaries that appeared in our daily newspaper before April 1, 2001.

Johnson City Press.com is a scaled-down version of the daily printed newspaper, so some items such as Associated Press stories, A.M. Authority listings, letters to the editor, weddings, engagements, anniversaries and other items are not available at the Web site.

Anyone searching for a past story, photograph or obituary should contact the Johnson City Public Library at 423-434-4450.

You may also search for Classifieds using our "Site Search" feature, but Classifieds are updated on a daily basis and are not archived. Sunday's classifieds are available at Johnson City Press.com only on Sunday.
