Santa Cruz Sentinel

The Santa Cruz Sentinel is a historic newspaper serving Santa Cruz County, California. Established in 1856 as the Pacific Sentinel, it became the Santa Cruz Sentinel in 1862. Initially a weekly publication, it transitioned to a semi-weekly format in 1891 and now operates as a daily newspaper. The Sentinel covers local news, events, and community affairs, known for its balanced editorial positions and commitment to factual reporting. The newspaper offers extensive local news coverage and maintains historical archives that date back to the 19th century. These archives include employee ledgers and article statistics, which are valuable resources for researchers, historians, and genealogists. The Sentinel collaborates with local institutions, such as the Santa Cruz Public Libraries and the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History, to preserve its historical records and provide digital access to its content.
