Opportunity Summary:
The National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP) is a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) funding opportunity that supports institutions in building a free, permanent, nationwide online collection of historically significant U.S. newspapers. The program focuses on newspapers published between 1836 and 1922 and aims to represent every U.S. state and territory. Funded projects select, digitize, and prepare newspaper pages so they can be searched online as part of the Library of Congress-hosted resource Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers. Alongside the digitized pages, the program also supports a national newspaper directory that provides bibliographic details and holdings information, helping researchers locate newspaper titles in any format and at various repositories.
The structure of the program is designed to create broad geographic coverage and strong in-state collaboration. NEH expects one organization per state or territory to receive an award and to work closely with relevant state partners, such as libraries, archives, historical societies, universities, and other institutions that hold newspaper collections or have expertise in preservation and access. The Library of Congress is an active partner in the overall initiative and, during the partnership, also digitizes and contributes a significant number of newspaper pages from its own collections to the same database, helping expand the national resource.
Awards are made as cooperative agreements, meaning recipients typically coordinate with NEH and the Library of Congress to ensure that digitization work, metadata, and deliverables meet NDNP standards and can be integrated into the national platform for long-term public access. The funding ceiling for this opportunity is $350,000, with no stated award floor, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed. NEH indicates it intends to support projects across all states and territories as funds allow, but the program places priority on new projects, especially from states and territories that have not previously received NDNP funding. Previously funded participants may be eligible for supplemental funding to continue work, though they are not the top priority compared to new entrants.
A wide range of applicants are eligible, including federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3), excluding higher education institutions where applicable); and local, county, state, special district, and other government entities. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding in the humanities (CFDA 45.149, Promotion of the Humanities) and is administered by NEH through its Division of Preservation and Access. The opportunity referenced here was posted on October 10, 2012, with an application deadline of January 17, 2013, and an archive date of February 16, 2013.
For official guidance, application requirements, and program-specific standards, the announcement points applicants to NEH resources for the National Digital Newspaper Program and provides a contact point at NEH (Division of Preservation and Access) via phone at 202-606-8570 and email at preservation@neh.gov.
