OCLC Selected to Digitize "Historical" California Newspaper for Univ. of California, Riverside Digitization Project; Other Papers Under Consideration

A busy day for digitization news.

This time we learn that OCLC has been selected by the University of California, Riverside (UCR) to digitize the San Francisco Call.

The San Francisco Call is one of the most significant newspapers published in California between 1900 and 1910, and was San Francisco's leading morning newspaper for several decades. The Los Angeles Herald and several smaller regional papers are currently under consideration for digitization.

UCR was one of six organizations to be awarded a National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP) grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) in 2005. NEH awards a series of grants to one organization within each U.S. state or territory to collaborate with relevant partners in support of the NDNP, a joint venture of the NEH and the Library of Congress to create a national, digital resource of historically significant newspapers from all U.S. states and territories published between 1836 and 1922.

As newspapers are digitized from around the country and become available online from the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP) , you'll find them listed and linked on this LOC web site. It's also a great place to learn more about the NDNP.

Currently available is a digitized version of the N. W. Ayer & Son's American Newspaper Annual, New York Tribune Index(1874-1884, 1895), and several other newspaper/serial related resources including this collection of Newspaper Pictorials: World War I Rotogravures.
