The Cowichan Leader newspaper (1905-1985)[1] merged with the Cowichan News (1976-1985) to form the Cowichan News Leader (1985-1994), and finally the Cowichan News Leader Pictorial, which ceased in 2015.[2] Consolidation of ownership under Black Press led to this final closure, and to the establishment of the Cowichan Valley Citizen, purchased by Black Press during 2014 labour action by Pictorial staff, as the only regional paper for a time.
Together, these various community papers reflect stories of settler communities of the Cowichan Valley throughout the intensive settlement and industrial development of the twentieth century, representing a rich resource for understanding the social and political life, economic activity, and relations between the settlers who came to stay and the Cowichan people who are Indigenous to the Valley.
In 2018, the Library of Vancouver Island University (VIU) undertook to digitize and provide an Open Access digital archive for early issues of the Cowichan Leader to ensure preservation of content of regional significance, as well as to provide access for citizens and scholars.[3] Microform for the Cowichan papers is also held by the VIU Library
