Opportunity Information: Apply for 20220113 PJ
The National Digital Newspaper Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), administered through NEH's Division of Preservation and Access. It is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means awardees work in coordination with NEH and program partners to meet shared project standards and goals. The program is designed to support the creation of a comprehensive national digital collection of historically significant U.S. newspapers, focusing on publications dating from 1690 through 1963. A central aim is to ensure that newspapers from all 56 states and U.S. jurisdictions are represented, helping build a broad, nationwide record of local and regional history.
The core deliverable is the digitization and preparation of selected historic newspaper content so it can be included in a publicly available, searchable online database that is permanently maintained by the Library of Congress. The resulting resource is intended to be free to users, expanding access for researchers, educators, students, genealogists, journalists, and the general public. By digitizing newspapers and making them text-searchable, the program strengthens long-term preservation while also making it far easier to discover and use these materials than in traditional microfilm or print formats.
Eligible applicants include a wide range of public and nonprofit entities: state, county, and local governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in that nonprofit category). The funding activity category is Humanities (often grouped under Cultural Affairs in CFDA contexts), and the program is listed under CFDA number 45.149.
For this specific opportunity cycle (Funding Opportunity Number 20220113 PJ), NEH anticipated making around 10 awards, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $325,000 per award. The opportunity was created on September 27, 2021, with an original application deadline of January 13, 2022. Overall, the program supports projects that contribute to a lasting national digital newspaper resource, with the Library of Congress serving as the long-term steward of the collection and access platform.Apply for 20220113 PJ
