The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is offering the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP) grant. This program aims to create a comprehensive national digital resource of historically significant newspapers published between 1836 and 1922 from all U.S. states and territories. This searchable database will be permanently maintained at the Library of Congress (LC) and made freely accessible online. The LC will also contribute digitized newspapers from its collections. This grant is for organizations within each U.S. state or territory to collaborate with state partners on digitization efforts. While previously funded projects are eligible for supplements, new projects will receive priority. Collaborations between new and existing projects, involving file management, consultation, or training, are encouraged.

| Description: | NEH is soliciting proposals from institutions to participate in the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP). NDNP is creating a national, digital resource of historically significant newspapers published between 1836 and 1922, from all the states and U.S. territories. This searchable database will be permanently maintained at the Library of Congress (LC) and be freely accessible via the Internet. (See the website, Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers.) An accompanying national newspaper directory of bibliographic and holdings information on the website directs users to newspaper titles available in all types of formats. During the course of its partnership with NEH, LC will also digitize and contribute to the NDNP database a significant number of newspaper pages drawn from its own collections. NEH intends to support projects in all states and U.S. territories, provided that sufficient funds allocated for this purpose are available. 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. Applications that involve collaboration between previously funded and new projects are welcome. Such collaborations might involve, for example, arranging with current awardees to manage the creation and delivery of digital files; offering regular and ongoing consultation on managing aspects of the project; or providing formal training for project staff at an onsite institute or workshop. |
