A growing archive of the history of Soulard neighborhood journalism.
Soulard has been privileged to have local newspapers serving the community for nearly 50 years. See our growing archive below, digitized from the SRG Historical Committee's master collection and available for the first time. Launching in 1976, The Restorationist ran for 12 years before transitioning to The Renaissance. Our modern paper, The Renaissance, has run for nearly four decades. Every issue is a scanned PDF — click any card to open it.

The Renaissance has published continuously since 1988, but our digital archive still has gaps. We are especially searching for issues from 1995–1996, 1999–2000, 2002–2023. If you have any of these, please help us complete the collection.
Help us fill the gaps
Our archive grows with the neighborhood's help. If you have any issues of The Restorationist or The Renaissance that are missing above — or a better copy of the 5 issues we only hold as low-resolution scans — please reach out so we can add them to the archive for everyone to enjoy.
