Roanoke Colonization-Related News Items



“Roanoke Colonization-Related News Items” lists stories from the three papers which cover Roanoke Island and the Outer Banks of North Carolina most extensively: the daily Virginian-Pilot from Norfolk, Virginia (which has a branch office in Nags Head, North Carolina); the thrice weekly Coastland Times from Manteo, North Carolina; and the weekly Outer Banks Sentinel from Nags Head, North Carolina. The stories from these three papers not only provide information about the region's major news events, but also provide an interesting insight on the importance of Roanoke colonization in contemporary local culture on Roanoke Island and the Outer Banks. Items are listed in chronological order to allow readers a sense of how stories have developed over time. (Note: The weekly magazine supplement of the Virginian-Pilot devoted to the Outer Banks, The Coast, is distributed only in newspapers on the Outer Banks themselves and, thus, is not available to the Roanoke Colonies Research Office.) If not already marked in some way, book and play titles, ships names, etc., have been italicized for the convenience of our readers.

Items from May 1, 1999, through April 30, 2000, are included in this issue of the Roanoke Colonies Research Newsletter. Contact information:
