Pennsylvania Newspapers

The State Library of Pennsylvania is a partner with The Pennsylvania State University on its Pennsylvania Digital Newspaper Project, funded through a National Endowment for the Humanities grant. Additional titles are planned for digitization during the grant period.

The Evening Herald (Shenandoah, PA) is now posted on the Library of Congress Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers. Chronicling America now has 3,999,267 pages.

With the recent release, the Library of Congress added approximately 290,000 pages, 42 titles, and 25 additional essays, and the time coverage now extends the full scope for the program, 1836-1922.
