Bartlesville Public Library

A fascinating, historic collection is now available through the Library of Congress Web site at http://www.loc.gov/chroniclingamerica. Here you can search and read newspaper pages from 1900-1910 and find information about newspapers published in the United States from 1690 to the present. Chronicling America is sponsored jointly by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Library of Congress as part of the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP). Currently you can view newspaper pages from the follwing states: California, District of Columbia, Florida, Kentucky, New York, Utah and Virginia.

The National Digital Newspaper program is a partnership designed to provide enhanced access to United States newspapers. Ultimately, over a period of approximately 20 years, NDNP will create a national, digital resource of historically significant newspaper from all the states and U.S. territories published between 1836 and 1922. This searchable database will be permanently maintained at the Library and Congress and freely acessible via the Internet. An accompanying national newspaper directory of bibliographic and holding information on the website will direct users to newspaper titles available in all types of formats. LC will digitize and contribute to the NDNP database a significant number of newspaper pages drawn from its own collection.
