The National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP), a partnership between the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the Library of Congress (LC), is a long-term effort to develop an Internet-based, searchable database of all U.S. newspapers with descriptive information and select digitization of historic pages. Supported by NEH, this rich digital resource will be developed and permanently maintained at the Library of Congress. An NEH grant program will fund the contribution of content from, eventually, all U.S. states and territories.
Brief overview of the history of this California-based newspaper and Internet publisher, whose holdings include the Sacramento Bee (founded in 1857), the Fresno Bee, the Star Tribune in Minneapolis-St. Paul, and the Knight-Ridder company (acquired in 2006). Includes links to additional material on Pulitzer prizes won by newspapers now with the McClatchy Company, a list of member newspapers, and news about the company and its operations.
Links to several dozen newspapers' sites, sortable by name and by city. A drop-down menu lets you choose which section of the paper the links go to, which is useful though it needs some updating.
The Newseum displays these daily newspaper front pages in their original, unedited form. Some front pages may contain material that is objectionable to some visitors. Viewer discretion is advised.

This site serves as a repository for the NYU Digital Library Team's METS implementation development projects. At present a modest handful of XSLT-based page-turner and search implementations are freely available for use on an "as is" basis. In the pipeline are a java-based SMIL viewer, a java-based application and a perl-based application to extract a METS file from a database using NYU's zeroDB schema.

This table provides a list of historical U.S. newspapers that are available online at no cost. Newspapers available for free through Google News Historical Archives and Newspaperarchives.com are listed individually as I identify them. Newspapers available through Chronicling America and state digitization projects are usually listed as a group. For instance, under "Wyoming" I have not listed every newspaper digitized in the project but simply described what is available.
The following is a list of daily and weekly Georgia newspapers and various college newspapers that maintain an online presence. The amount of information available in electronic format varies. (Excluded are alternative news weeklies and other specialized publications.)
Welcome to Chronicling America, enhancing access to America's historic newspapers. This site allows you to search and view newspaper pages from 1880-1922 and find information about American newspapers published between 1690-present.

The California Newspaper Project is an 18 year effort by the CBSR to identify, describe and preserve California newspapers. Close to 9,000 California newspapers were inventoried in over 14,000 repositories throughout the state, 1.5 million pages of California newspapers were preserved and made available on microfilm, and 100,000 rolls of negative microfilm rolls are being processed for permanent storage at the UC Regional Library Storage Facilities.
The California Newspaper Microfilm Archive (CNMA) is the single largest collection of newspaper microfilm for the Golden State. It comprises approximately 100,000 reels for titles published between 1846 and the present. It includes film that the CBSR acquired from Data MicroImaging Company, Custom Microfilm Systems, Inc., BMI Imaging Systems (aka Bay Microfilm, Inc.), Wave Publishing, and film provided by the California State Library. Part of the acquisition has been made possible through generous support from the Haynes Foundation, the Ahmanson Foundation, Rivera Library at the University of California, Riverside, and the California State Library.
