The current name of the database is "TRAILS". TRAILS covers obituaries up through the end of 1989. Beginning with the January 1, 1990 issue, the Tampa Tribune is available in full text via the Access World News database (this database is accessible to many public library or academic library users around the country). So an obituary index wasn't needed for those later issues.
