NSW newspapers

 * Newspaper title - should also be the title of the Wikipedia article created for the newspaper
 * Other title - other titles of the newspaper throughout its history, may include titles merged with the newspaper
 * SLNSW catalogue reference - each newspaper should have a catalogue entry from SLNSW 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 Country Conscience, which can be used as a reference for many regional NSW newspapers (NB - all newspapers listed in the table below are referenced in Country Conscience)

Procedures for creating articles about NSW newspapers are available here: Newspaper procedures
