The Oregon Digital Newspaper Program (ODNP), housed at the University of Oregon Libraries, is an initiative to digitize historic Oregon newspaper content and make it freely available to the public through a keyword-searchable online database. The initial phase of the program, starting in 2009, concentrated on newspapers in the Public Domain published between 1860 and 1926.

As of January 2016, current born-digital Oregon newspapers from participating publishers joined the ODNP, with content published in 2015 and beyond available at Historic Oregon Newspapers online. For more information about current newspapers and ODNP, visit our Current Newspapers page.

There are currently over 2 million newspaper pages available on the Historic Oregon Newspapers website, with some content published after 1922. All titles that have been digitized are listed on the website.

The ODNP was also constructed to help facilitate the digitization of Oregon newspapers by outside organizations/individuals. If you are interested in participating, please contact us.
