Here is the final list of newspapers that will be digitized in this first round.
The first round of newspaper digitization will be completed by 2011. However, there will be bulk uploads before then as several items are completed.

I am so excited about finding your blog as I have ancestors in Greenville County and am looking forward to seeing these newspapers online.
I found your blog through GeneaBloggers where I recently joined as well. Great job!
Let me know if I can help you at all. Make sure you check my blog for the link to Greenville Public Library's online obituary indexes. They are doing a great job with indexing.
You can also find many Georgetown County newspapers online at http://www.gcdigital.org
Ranging from the early 1800s until 1899: including the Winyah Observer, the Pee Dee Times, the True Republican, the South Carolinian, the Winyah Intelligencer, the Georgetown American and the Georgetown Union.
There are many wonderful photographs on this website as well
