In memory of Charles Browning, April 14, 1923 - December 2, 2007.

The Evansville, Indiana, local history database contains newspaper clippings of local value from the Evansville Press, which made a joint donation of its archives to the Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library and to Willard Library after the newspaper ceased publication with the December 31, 1998, issue. Indexing of the newspaper clippings is very much a work in progress. It is estimated that only about 10% of the Press clippings of local interest have been indexed.

Added to the Press clippings is the lifetime work of Charles Browning. His two monumental biographical works, People of Evansville in World War II, about 40,000 cards, and his People Study, about 537,000 cards, are now online for the first time. They complement Mr. Browning's other online work, the Browning Genealogy Database (http://browning.evpl.org)
