Huon Times

The Huon Times (1910–1933), later the Huon & Derwent Times (1933–1942) was an English language newspaper published in Franklin, Tasmania, Australia.

History

The newspaper was first published on 16 February 1910 by Sydney Wentworth Addison[1] the then manager-editor of Huon Newspaper Co., Ltd. It was published bi-weekly until 1931 when it became a weekly newspaper.

In 1933 name of the publication was changed to the Huon & Derwent Times, and an additional section was included which targeted readership in the Derwent Valley region. Publication was suspended by the Board of Directors in 1942 with the hope that it would be reinstated at the resumption of peace.[2]

Digitisation

The Huon Times and the Huon & Derwent Times have been digitised as part of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program (ANDP) of the National Library of Australia.
