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.
