Yomidasu Rekishikan Shōwa no chiikiban (ヨミダス歴史館・昭和の地域版) at 

https://database.yomiuri.co.jp/rekishikan/

The already previously available Yomidasu Rekishikan has added Yomiuri Shinbun’s 46 local editions, with the exception of Okinawa’s, published from 1933 to 1989. Local editions typically carry a variety of news items that were not published in the main edition of the newspaper, such as local incidents, local budgets, elections, or festivals, and have information on people who are active in the region.
