http://tarver.mercer.edu/special_collections/GBHD.htm#Christian The Christian IndexSince 1822, The Columbian Star/The Christian Index has been in constant publication, making it the oldest continuing denominational publication in the United States. This weekly Baptist newspaper publishes news related to Baptist work on the local, state, national, and international levels, including biographical, church, association, institutional, and Convention information. In early years, it included a significant amount of news from non-Convention Georgia Baptists, as well as many advertisements (even for the cure of cancer!) and much secular news.A number of unpublished card indexes have been developed, documenting dates, pages, and column numbers of articles and pictures related to individual churches, associations, and persons. The period of the nineteenth century has received the most complete coverage; however, some of the indexing was done into the early 1980s. Three published indexes cover obituaries (1822-1879, 1880-1899) and marriages (1828-1855). Unpublished print indexes cover marriage notices from 1855 to 1916, when the Index ceased to publish these notices, as well as ordinations, retirements, and obituaries published from 1900 to the late 1980s.
