The Weekly Register-Call is the oldest weekly newspaper in Colorado. It is published by Robert Sweeney in Black Hawk, Colorado. The newspaper was originally known as the Miners' Register (also Daily Miners' Register), which was changed to the Central City Register (also called Daily) on July 26, 1868, and after an 1870s merger it has been known as the Register-Call.
The Register-call Building at 109 Eureka Street survived the destructive 1874 Central City fire and the newspaper continued to be published from this building until 1996. The building in question had been sold to the Masons back when the newspaper experienced financial difficulties. They added a third floor lodge hall and ended up leasing the space back to the newspaper.
The Evening call , established on February 16, 1878, merged with the Central City Register on May 27, 1878 to form the Daily Register-Call. The daily edition conctinued until November 3, 1890, while a weekly edition of the Register-Call was published concurrently from 1878
