The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) has awarded a $321,382 Project Grant under the Promotion of the Humanities Division of Preservation and Access (CFDA 45.149) program to the University of California, Riverside (UC Riverside) for the "CALIFORNIA NDNP 2023-25" project. The grant will fund the digitization of mid-20th century African-American newspapers from Los Angeles and the Bay Area, which will be contributed to the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP). UC Riverside has previously participated in NDNP, delivering over 500,000 pages during five prior award cycles from 2005 to 2020. This sixth award will focus on California's "Civil Rights Era" contributions to NDNP, capturing the state's rapidly growing Black populations in the postwar years. The project will be conducted by the Center for Bibliographical Studies and Research (CBSR) at UC Riverside over the period of September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2025.
