The Oregon State Library has been a long-standing supporter of the Oregon Digital Newspaper Program through its LSTA grant funding to Oregon libraries to fund newspaper digitization. Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) funding is allocated from the federal government to states to support libraries and other cultural heritage institutions. In 2022-2023, we were glad to partner with seven organizations with LSTA grants to digitize newspapers from around the state:
- Cottage Grove Sentinel (1924-1929), sponsored by the Cottage Grove Museum
- Gresham Outlook (1911-1928), sponsored by the Multnomah County Library
- Hermiston Herald (1915-1945), sponsored by the Hermiston Public Library
- Hood River Glacier (1924-1928), sponsored by the Hood River Public Library
- Illinois Valley News (1937-1952), sponsored by the Josephine Community Library District
- Opportunity News (1965-1968), sponsored by Oregon Historical Society
- Toveri (1916-1921), sponsored by the Astoria Public Library
