The lineage of the The Missouri Republican, published between 1869 and 1873, can be traced back to Missouri’s first newspaper, the Missouri Gazette, begun in St. Louis by Joseph Charless in 1808. The paper is published under various titles until eventually becoming The St. Louis Republic in 1888. The paper was published with this title until 1919 when it was sold to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Digital images of The Daily Missouri Republican were created through a partnership with the Missouri History Museum, the St. Louis Mercantile Library, the St. Louis Public Library, and the State Historical Society of Missouri. This project is supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act as administered by the Missouri State Library, and supports the Society’s longstanding commitment to preserve and provide access to Missouri’s newspapers.
