As the program manager for the Oregon Digital Newspaper Program (ODNP), I’m frequently asked what newspaper titles we’re currently working on. I post periodic updates about the digitization queue on this blog, but I thought it would be useful to have one page that provides a real-time list of all of the projects that we have underway and that are in the pipeline. I will update this page as we complete projects and add new ones.

Some projects on the list are far out into the future, so I have indicated the fiscal year when we will start work, e.g., FY27 means the year that runs July 1, 2026-June 30, 2027.
