Not all of the newspapers for all years were indexed.

Vendor Name Lexington Public Library
Coverage 1787 - present (retrospective additions on-going)
Special Usage Notes
In recent years the Lexington Herald, the Lexington Leader, and the Lexington Herald-Leader have been issued in several editions. The index does not indicate the edition indexed, but all editions of the newspapers are generally included on the microfilmed copies of the newspapers. If you have trouble locating a citation, be sure to check all editions. Over the years, some errors in indexing have inevitably been made. It was impossible to verify all the card entries when converting them to the web version.
The online index does not list results in chronological order. If you are researching a particular time period, the microfilmed Local History Index may be the best choice. This index is categorized by subject and entries are listed chronologically. Please ask for assistance at the Young Library Periodicals Desk. The call number for this collection is B 89-5.
