The ''[[Pensacola News Journal]]'' is the newspaper-of-record for the Pensacola area. It has produced some of the most thorough and reliable coverage of local events. Their online archive includes electronic texts of articles since 1999. '''This archive can be accessed for free with a [[West Florida Public Library]] card number.''' Otherwise, archived articles must be purchased, but many important details (dates, names, etc.) can be gleaned from the abstracts available for free. Dates are often listed as days of the week relative to the publication date, in which case a "day of the week calculator" is helpful in determining the month and day.
