We are often asked what titles are next in line for digitization, so I’m adding a new category to the ODNP blog to announce them. It can take 6-12 months to complete a newspaper digitization project, and I know it would be helpful for researchers to know what titles they can look forward to accessing.
The following titles and the dates being digitized are currently underway and in the digitization queue for this fiscal year, which runs July 1, 2023-June 30, 2024. Not all of them will be completed in that time–e.g., projects starting in April 2024 will be completed later in 2024 or early 2025–but we will begin work and make progress toward completion during that time period.
