Thanks to our partner, Edgecombe County Memorial Library, as well as funding from the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA), a new title has been added to DigitalNC’s ever-growing newspaper collection. Twenty-seven issues of the Edgecombe County Chronicle (Pinetops, N.C.) from the paper’s first year (1966) can now be viewed online. Published weekly, the 1966 issues focus on providing local news along with weekly updates on the war in Vietnam.
