The INP is an initiative of the History, Philosophy, and Newspaper Library and the Preservation Services Unit at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The Illinois Newspaper Project (INP) identifies, preserves, and digitizes Illinois newspapers. We also help researchers locate the Illinois newspapers they need through maintaining the Illinois Newspaper Directory. We lead and assist with newspaper digitization projects, and provide freely available access to digitized newspapers in the Illinois Digital Newspaper Collections (IDNC).
Have a question about reformatting or digitizing newspapers in your collection? The INP might be able to help! We can provide information on best practices, connect institutions with digitization vendors, and potentially add your digitized content to the Illinois Digital Newspaper Collections (IDNC).
