Is there an index to the Philadelphia Inquirer or the Philadelphia Daily News?
There is an index for the Philadelphia Inquirer from 1860 to 1922 in the Early American Newspapers database and indexes for both the Inquirer and the Daily News beginning in 1983 in the individual databases for those newspapers. However, the Inquirer and Daily News databases usually do not include death notices. The America’s Obituaries & Death Notices database covers the Philadelphia Inquirer beginning 1/16/81 and the Daily News beginning 7/21/82 but it is not comprehensive.
