United States Newspaper Program
The United States Newspaper Program (USNP) is a national effort among the individual states and the US federal government to locate, catalog, and preserve on microfilm, newspapers published in the United States up to the present time. Funding is provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities, and technical assistance is provided by the Library of Congress.〔(UNITED STATES NEWSPAPER PROGRAM (Preservation, Library of Congress) )〕 The program has since been enhanced by the National Digital Newspaper Program. The program began in the 1982 and was estimated to be completed in 2007.〔(National Digital Newspaper Program )〕 As of 2004, $51.1 million in federal and $19.3 million in state funding had been raised.
== Purpose ==
The initiators of the project asserted that the intellectual content of newspapers serves an important role for researchers as it is for all intents and purposes the first draft of history. Newspapers also provide unique access to "diverse geographic viewpoints at the community level."〔(The U.S. Newspaper Program - Scope, Achievement, and Progress )〕 Problematically, since the middle of the 19th century this "first draft" has been recorded on poor quality newsprint which is decaying rapidly. Through microfilming the intellectual content, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Library of Congress hoped to preserve it and improve accessibility.
