Entry of New Hampshire into the National Digital Newspaper Program with the digitization of 100,000 pages from master negatives. The focus of this first round of contribution would be on “papers of record” with broad geographic coverage and titles that reflect the political, economic, and cultural history of New Hampshire.

The Dartmouth Library requests $298,001 from the National Endowment for the Humanities for the New Hampshire Digital Newspaper Project, to select, digitize, and make available to the Library of Congress 100,000 pages of historical newspapers through the National Digital Newspaper Program. Receiving this grant would mean that New Hampshire would be the last of the fifty states to be included in this important program. The New Hampshire Digital Newspaper Project will be led by the Dartmouth Library in partnership with the New Hampshire State Library, the New Hampshire Historical Society, and the University of New Hampshire Library. The project will be a public-private partnership between Dartmouth College and New Hampshire’s flagship educational and cultural heritage institutions.
