Vermont Digital Newspaper Project
The Vermont digital Newspaper Project is part of the National Digital Newspaper Program, developed by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the Library of Congress. The University of Vermont Libraries was awarded funding from NEH to work collaboratively with partners in the Vermont Department of Libraries, the Ilsley Public Library of Middlebury, and the Vermont Historical Society to select, digitize, and make available up to 100,000 pages of Vermont newspapers, published between 1836 and 1922, from the microfilm collections of the Vermont Department of Libraries and the University of Vermont. The digitized newspapers are freely available to the public via the Library of Congress' Chronicling America database.
The Project builds upon work of the NEH-funded Vermont Newspaper Project which, from 1997 to 2001, identified, cataloged, and microfilmed close to 1,000 historical Vermont newspaper titles in over 3,000 libraries, historical societies, and other repositories throughout the state.
