The Illinois Newspaper Project is bringing Deborah
Thomas from the Library of Congress to the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign. You are all invited you to attend her presentation, "Headlines,
History, and Hats: American Historical Newspapers and Chronicling
America," at 10:00 a.m. in 126 GSLIS on Thursday, June 30.
Deborah Thomas, Program Coordinator for the National Digital Newspaper
Program at the Library of Congress, will talk about the effort to
digitize historically significant newspapers from all over the United
States and make them freely available through Chronicling America:
Historic American Newspapers, a web site hosted by the Library of
Congress.
In June 2009, the University of Illinois Library received funding from
the National Endowment for the Humanities to participate in the National
Digital Newspaper Program. Four Illinois newspapers-The Chicago Eagle,
The Broad Ax, The Day Book, and The Cairo Bulletin-totaling 100,000 pages
of content have already been added to the Chronicling America repository.
Staff from the Illinois Newspaper Project, Mary Stuart (Principal
Investigator), Amy Sullivan (Preservationist and Project Coordinator),
and Tracy Nectoux (Cataloger and Metadata and Quality Review Specialist),
will be available to answer questions about the Illinois Newspaper
Project following the presentation.
