The digitized newspaper pages will be sent to the Library of Congress for inclusion in Chronicling America, ensuring long-term access and preservation of these primary historical resources through the National Digital Newspaper Program. The grant will support continued digitization efforts in line with the NEH's goal of making more voices and communities represented in the national historical record.
