I keep getting requests for information on local history and while I don't mind answering them, I do provide them with the available archives of The Vindicator which go all the way back to Vol. 1, No. 1 in June of 1869. The reason why there are so many different links is because each link represents the different names the paper used in its masthead ... Mahoning Vindicator; Mahoning Valley Vindicator; Youngstown Evening Vindicator; Youngstown Vindicator; Sunday Vindicator; The Vindicator. They are here listed in the order they were published with the Mahoning Vindicator being the first. The early ones were published weekly.
Here are the links:
