New MexicoNewspapersare to be digitized and made available free online.
UNM Libraries hold the largest collection of New Mexico news papers on microfilm. Now, the National Endowment for the Humanities has
presented UNM Libraries with a $351,642 grant to digitize, from microfilm, 100,000 pages of newspapers printed in New Mexico during the last-19th and early-20th century.
UNM is working with the University of North Texas, which has experience in the area. The project will convert
some of UNM’s extensive newspaper microfilm collections
into a digital format that can be viewed and searched online. http://news.unm.edu/?p=2317
