The Ohio History Connection, a non-profit organization, was awarded a $319,511 Project Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) under the Promotion of the Humanities Division of Preservation and Access program (CFDA 45.149). The grant will fund the digitization of 100,000 pages of Ohio's microfilmed newspapers to continue the National Digital Newspaper Program in Ohio. This effort will build upon the over 520,000 pages already digitized and made available through the Chronicling America website, with a focus on documenting Ohio's transportation infrastructure, community building, and democracy during the state's transformative periods before 1835 and from 1920-1963. The project aims to amplify existing historical narratives and uncover lesser-known histories that contribute to understanding the role of Ohio in shaping U.S. history. The award period is from September 1, 2023, to August 31, 2025.
