With our partners at the Bartlett Activities Center Historical Society, the Portal team intends to microfilm, digitize, and provide free online access to the Bartlett Tribune between 1902-1978. The town of Bartlett straddles the border of both Williamson and Bell Counties, and settlers began to populate the area in the 1850s. The Bartlett Tribune began publication in 1886, and served a vital role in the community by reporting on national, state, and local news, publishing obituaries and creating a record of legal notices for the community.   Funding for this project was provided by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission.
