The New Jersey Digital Newspaper Project (NJDNP) is a collaboration of the Rutgers University Libraries, the New Jersey State Archives and the New Jersey State Library. It draws upon the strengths of these three institutions. Rutgers will manage the project and provide all technical support. The New Jersey State Archives houses nearly 600 newspaper titles in microfilm and provides microfilm masters and use copies for all papers to be digitized. The New Jersey State Library leads the documentation and outreach about the titles selected. At least 300,000 pages will be digitized and cataloged to specifications within the six-year project time frame. We hope you follow the project’s progression with interest. Feel free to comment on our posts and provide feedback via the contact form on the tool bar.

This project is funded by a grant for the National Digital Newspaper Program, supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
