Advisory Board (2009-2015)

The Oregon Digital Newspaper Program participated in three rounds of grant funding through the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP) from 2009-2015 to digitize Oregon newspapers. An advisory board selected all of the titles digitized through the NDNP program. The advisory board included historians, librarians, curators, educators and journalists recruited from various institutions and diverse regions throughout the state.
