National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP)

National Digital Newspaper Program

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 U.S. newspapers with descriptive information and select digitization of historic pages.  The NDNP helps bring together the digitized newspapers that are part of the LC's Chronicling America online newspaper collection and digital collections of individual states. 

The NDNP site includes a search engine for newspaper photos in the Chronicling America collection called Newspaper Navigator.  The collection can also be accessed at Chronicling America.

Many states have their own digital newspaper collections, often developed in tandem with the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP); access points for individual state online collections are below.  This list may not be complete, and, states that have partnered with the NDNP, but that have not developed their own separate collections, are not included here. This list is divided by region:

Northeastern States

Southeastern States

South Central States

North Central States

Plains States

Western States
