The United States Newspaper Program is a cooperative national effort among the states and the federal government to locate, catalog, and preserve on microfilm newspapers published in the United States from the eighteenth century to the present. Funding is provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Technical assistance is furnished by the Library of Congress.

The USNP has supported projects in each of the fifty states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Each project is conducted by a single organization within a state or territory, usually the state's largest newspaper repository. A project's staff inventories holdings in public libraries, county courthouses, newspaper offices, historical museums, college and university libraries, archives, and historical societies. Catalog records are entered into a national database maintained by the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) and accessible through more than 43,500 dedicated computer terminals worldwide. Microfilm copies of newspapers are generally available to researchers anywhere in the country through inter-library loan.

We have listed NEH awards to date in support of USNP projects. The dollar amount includes funds for planning, for implementation, and for the continuation of multi-stage projects. The list contains both current and completed projects and provides the number of titles and newspaper pages that have been or are estimated to be cataloged and microfilmed.

Please note: e-mail addresses and URLs are current as of May, 2004. Not all institutions maintain a web site specifically for USNP projects.

In addition to state projects, the Endowment has funded the cataloging of newspapers at eight national repositories and also funded preservation at one of the eight. Each of these libraries has extensive newspaper collections containing titles from most of the 50 states. The Library of Congress, with its own fiscal resources, also participates in the USNP as a national repository.
