Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers

Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers is a database that does what its title infers. It chronicles America’s history in digitized newspapers that are carefully selected through a grant from the National Endowment of the Humanities (NEH). A production of the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP) in partnership with the NEH and the Library of Congress, the program began in 2004 by providing grants to state institutions to digitize old American newspapers that “enhance the study of American history.” The database resides at the Library of Congress.
