NEH National Digital Newspaper Program

Deadline: January 17, 2013

The National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP) is creating a national digital resource of historically significant newspapers published between 1836 and 1922, from all U.S. states and territories. This searchable database will be maintained at the Library of Congress and freely accessible online.

One organization within each U.S. state or territory will receive an award to collaborate with relevant state partners in this effort. Previously funded projects will be eligible to receive supplements for continued work, but the program will give priority to new projects. In particular, the program will give priority to projects from states and territories that have not received NDNP funding.

In the last five competitions the National Digital Newspaper Program received an average of fifteen applications per year. The program made an average of eleven awards per year, for a funding ratio of 73 percent.

The application and more details are provided on the NEH website.
