Hi, Henry--as you know, I'm sure, newspapers have been the great
lagging indicator in the digitization of historical textual materials:
the technical challenges were for too long just too great.
However, there are now some important and promising efforts underway,
notably the Chronicling America project, http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/
. In addition, you might want to explore the links at http://www.loc.gov/rr/news/
for further leads. And if an up-to-date list such as you mention
exists, the folks available via http://www.loc.gov/rr/askalib/ask-news.html
would know it.
For periodicals, I'd start with those digitized by the Making of
America project, http://hearth.library.cornell.edu/m/moajrnl/ (main
MOA page: http://hearth.library.cornell.edu/m/moa/).
Of course, you'll find far more materials via subscription databases
at research libraries than is available free of charge on the Internet.
