The Chronicling America Historic American Newspapers collection provides access to select digitized newspaper pages produced by the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP), a partnership between the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the Library of Congress (LC). Cultural heritage institutions select and digitize newspaper pages representing the history, geographic coverage, and events of note for their state or territory. Supported by The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), this rich digital resource was developed and is permanently maintained at the Library of Congress. An NEH award program will fund the contribution of content from, eventually, all U.S. states and territories.
Chronicling America contains millions of newspaper pages from nearly every state and territory in the United States published through 1963. See a list of NDNP award recipients for more information on current participation. New newspaper pages are added to Chronicling America on a regular basis. Explore Chronicling America's newspapers on an interactive map and timeline interface and view additional data visualizations to better understand the scope and coverage of newspapers currently available in the collection.
