Changes are Underway on the DigitalNC Newspaper Collection

As we reported in the spring, we have been working on a major change to the software that is behind the North Carolina Newspapers digital collection. We are migrating all of the community newspapers that we have digitized to the Library of Congress Newspaper Viewer (those of you who are regular users of their excellent Chronicling America site will already be familiar with the viewer). Those changes are currently underway right now.

While the transition is underway, users may run into occasional error messages or downtime for the collection, but we are working hard to make sure that there are as few interruptions as possible. Please let us know if you experience extended difficulties with the site.

We are hoping to have the migration complete by later this fall. When we’ve got everything moved over we’ll post an announcement here, which will include more information about the tools and features available in the new newspaper viewer.
