Montana Digital Newspaper Project, Phase One
The digitization of 50,000 pages of Montana's newspapers, dating from 1860-1922, as part of the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP).
The Montana Historical Society requests funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities over a two-year period to digitize 100,000 pages of Montana's microfilmed newspapers for the Montana Newspaper Digitization Project. The Montana Historical Society holds the most complete collection of Montana newspapers on microfilm, including all significant titles from the years 1860 to 1922. The Montana Newspaper Digitization Project will deliver the digitized newspaper pages to the Library of Congress as well as all required accompanying digital, textual and microfilm deliverables.
