The National Endowment for the Humanities serves and strengthens our nation by supporting high-quality projects and programs in the humanities and by making the humanities available to all Americans.
This grant supports the creation of a national digital resource of historically significant newspapers published between 1690 and 1963. This comprehensive initiative includes newspapers from all 56 states and U.S. jurisdictions, compiling them into a freely accessible, searchable online database. The project's broad goal is to preserve and provide universal access to historical newspaper archives, facilitating research, education, and public awareness of historical events and cultural heritage.
