The Telegraph and Shoalhaven Advertiser was first published by Joseph Weston on 27 February 1879 in competition with the Shoalhaven News.[1] Weston installed his brother-in-law John Maclean as the newspaper's editor. The Telegraph's name was changed to The Shoalhaven Telegraph in 1881.[2] The Telegraph was sold to Maclean in 1886, who in turn sold it to Henry Rauch in 1900.[3] In 1937 the Telegraph was absorbed by the Shoalhaven News.[4]
The paper has been digitised as part of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program project of the National Library of Australia.[5][6]
