Digitization of 100,000 pages of Texas newspapers dating from 1908 to 1945, as part of the state’s participation in the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP).
The University of North Texas Libraries plan to digitize and make available to the National Digital Newspaper Program 100,000 newspaper pages. The selected titles will reflect the political and economic history of the state; provide coverage for major regions of the state, including most major population areas; and have a broad chronological span. Additionally, titles selected during this project will focus on non-English papers important to the history of Texas that, for several reasons, have been overlooked and are underrepresented in national digital newspaper holdings. Pulling on the strengths and knowledge gained in previous rounds, the UNT Libraries recognize the challenges involved in an undertaking of this scope and possess the knowledge and management skills to achieve success.
