Digitization of the Mill Creek Valley Intelligencer

We’re so excited to share the completion of a meaningful digitization project: the Mill Creek Valley Intelligencer, a newspaper that documented the vibrant life and success of the Mill Creek Valley neighborhood in St. Louis.

Mill Creek Valley was a thriving, primarily African-American community that started in the 1800s. Though the neighborhood was demolished in the 1960s under the banner of “urban renewal,” its legacy lives on through the voices and stories captured in the Intelligencer.

By digitizing this publication, we’re part of the journey to preserve the memory of Mill Creek Valley and make its history accessible to future generations. The Intelligencer is part of The Mill Creek Valley collection at the Missouri Historical Society.
