 * Other title - other titles of the newspaper throughout its history, may include titles merged with the newspaper
 * SLV catalogue reference - each newspaper should have a catalogue entry from SLV which can be used to verify publication dates, locations, etc
 * Local library catalogue reference - where the newspaper is also in the collection of its local library, this catalogue record may also be used as a reference
 * Other references - eg The Bold Type: A history of Victoria's country newspapers, 1840-2010 by Rod Kirkpatrick (newspapers listed below are referenced in The Bold Type), and A GAZETTEER OF NEWSPAPERS FROM THE CENTRAL VICTORIAN GOLDFIELDS (1851-1901)
