West Virginia Digital Newspaper Project
Digitization of 100,000 pages of West Virginia newspapers, dating from 1836 to 1922, as part of the state's participation in the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP).
The West Virginia University Libraries seek funds to continue participation in the National Digital Newspaper Program. The WVUL will digitize 100,000 pages of important historic and representative newspapers published within the present borders of West Virginia within the project date frame which now extends up to 1963. This project will fully comply with all requirements and technical specifications set forth by the NEH and the Library of Congress for digital newspaper projects.
