The University of North Texas Libraries has added a collection of historical newspapers to its digital archive, The Portal to Texas History. The addition includes 50 issues of the Little Elm Journal, totaling 508 pages of content. The publication is based in Little Elm, Texas, which is located approximately 12 miles east of Denton.

The digital collection spans four years of the newspaper's run. The earliest issue available in the archive is dated June 15, 1994. The final issue included in this specific digital set was published on July 29, 2011. The Little Elm Journal began publication in 1994 and continues to operate as a weekly newspaper in the present day.

The archive entry notes that the collection represents only a portion of the newspaper's total output. The portal currently holds content from two distinct decades. The title was added to the digital repository eight years and 11 months ago, with the last update to the collection occurring three years and seven months prior to the current date.

Researchers and the public can browse the available items through the portal. The University of North Texas Libraries invites individuals who possess knowledge of the physical locations of any missing issues to provide feedback. Additional publication details or information regarding the gaps in the archive can also be submitted through the portal's feedback mechanism.

The collection is cataloged under the identifier UNT-TITLE-ID: t02983. It is part of a larger partnership involving two partners and two collections within the portal. The University of North Texas Libraries suggests consulting appropriate style guides for citation purposes when using the material.

Details regarding the specific editorial content, staff members, or circulation numbers of the Little Elm Journal during this period are not yet clear from the available archive metadata. The current digital holdings provide access to the text of the 50 selected issues but do not include information on the remaining years of the newspaper's publication history.
