Digitization of 100,000 pages of Georgia newspapers published prior to 1963 as part of the state’s participation in the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP).

The Digital Library of Georgia (DLG) requests $236,724 from the NEH to select, digitize, and make available to the Library of Congress 110,000 pages of public domain Georgia newsprint, published between 1690 and 1963, as part of the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP). We also propose to develop a three-part webinar series on text mining the Chronicling America and Georgia Historic Newspaper collections and to develop two primary source sets and two online exhibits featuring Chronicling America and Georgia Historic Newspaper content.
