Site of the NDNP, giving an overview of the program, timelines, proposals, background material, and latest developments. Long-term goal of the program is to develop a national, digital resource of historically significant newspapers from all U.S. states and territories published between 1836 and 1922. This digital resource is to be developed into a searchable database permanently maintained at the Library of Congress and freely accessible via the Internet. An accompanying national newspaper directory of bibliographic and holdings information on the website will direct users to newspaper titles available in all types of formats.
