Roanoke Colonies Research Newsletter
Volume 6.2 (May 1999)


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 the 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 place of Roanoke colonization in the local culture of 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.)

Items from November through April are included in the May issue of the Roanoke Colonies Research Newsletter, and items from May through October appear in the November issue. Contact information:
