Birmingham Newspapers Historical Comic Strip Index

What Is This?

From 2007 to 2010, I worked on the process of constructing a historical index for the comic strip content of the newspapers of Birmingham, Alabama. During that time, I completed daily indices for the Birmingham News, Age-Herald and Post. Job and location changes caused me to put this aside for a long time, but the development over the years of newspapers.com has allowed me to pick it up again in 2022, and I've now completed work on the Post-Herald. I've now begun work on the Jackson, Mississippi, Clarion-Ledger.
