The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is seeking applications for National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP) to create a national digital resource of historically significant newspapers published between 1690 and 1963, from all the states and U.S. jurisdictions.
This searchable database will be permanently maintained at LC and will be freely accessible online. The National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP) is a partnership between the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Library of Congress (LC).
The accompanying US Newspaper Directory of bibliographic and holdings information on the website directs users to newspaper titles available in all types of formats. During the course of its partnership with NEH, LC will also digitize and contribute to the NDNP database a significant number of newspaper pages drawn from its own collections.
