VTDNP participated at the 120th Annual Vermont Library Conference, Story Time: Advocate, Celebrate, and Be Heard, on May 20th, 2014 from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm at St. Michael’s College in Colchester. We had a booth and poster presentation setup for the event. We also came with handouts, pamphlets, bookmarks, and candies. We talked to many librarians about the (free) primary resources offered through our project at ChroniclingAmerica.com.
Short description: This poster will provide an overview of the Vermont Digital Newspaper Project/VTDNP. This project, part of a larger national initiative, provides free digital access to Vermont newspapers between 1836 and 1922.
