One message sent by someone in Juneau, Alaska on Sept 17, 2008 said the governor should be "shot from one of the planes that shoot the very wolves that you ordered."
Five days earlier an email landed in her in-box saying she "must be killed."
It said: "She doesn't belong to the NRA to support the right of each citizen to have weapons in an aim of self-defence, but just to support the right of every southern white citizen to shoot all non-white people legally! Sarah Palin MUST BE KILLED!"
Another emailed death threat in the same month, while Mrs Palin was on the campaign trail as John McCain's vice-presidential running mate, came from Antwerp, Belgium.
It said Mrs Palin should be shot and that "only on that moment justice will be accomplished."
The governor did not respond to the emails and forwarded them to her aides.
It was unclear whether inquiries into who sent the emails were launched.
