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

Since 1982, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has led the United States Newspaper Program and the National Digital Newspaper Program projects for the State of Nebraska. In this fifth NDNP grant proposal, UNL’s Center for Digital Research in the Humanities, part of the University Libraries, will select, digitize, and send to the Library of Congress an estimated 100,000 pages of Nebraska newspapers dating from 1854-1963 for inclusion in Chronicling America. We are excited about continued digitization and look forward to meeting the National Endowment for the Humanities “A More Perfect Union” vision of inclusion of under-represented communities and voices.
