The North Carolina Digital Heritage Center is continuing its popular newspaper digitization program in 2013 with the addition of fifteen new titles from towns and communities around the state.
To come up with the list of titles to be digitized, we asked public libraries in North Carolina to nominate historic papers of importance to their communities. We received a broad list of suggestions, ranging from 19th-century small town papers to mill town papers published in the 1960s. In making our selections, we sought to include papers from communities that were not yet represented on DigitalNC, papers that covered North Carolina’s diverse population, and papers from historically significant time periods.
These papers will be published online throughout 2013. Keep an eye on this blog for announcements and features when each new title is available online.
