Thanks to Bob Best and the News Progress for making available copies of the Sullivan Progress from 1916 and 1919 through 1948 so that they could be digitized and placed on this web site. These issues of the Progress make up the bulk of what is now available here in digital form.

Thanks also to the Moultrie County Historical and Genealogical Society for making available microfilm versions of various other early Sullivan newspapers, including the Sullivan Express for the years 1857 through 1860, and to Paul Stone for facilitating the arrangements for digitizing these microfilm files.
