The Library of Congress: Chronicling America

The Library of Congress has indeed chronicled much of America, and this latest stellar effort will be of great interest to just about anyone with a penchant for learning about American history. Working with the National Digital Newspaper Program, the Library of Congress has created this prototype website to provide direct access to select newspapers from the period 1900 to 1910. Additionally, for this first phase the project coordinators decided to focus on newspapers that have ceased publication entirely. Visitors can use the "Search Newspaper Pages" function to examine those pages that have been digitized already, and they will definitely find a few surprises here. The papers include Paris, Kentucky's "The Bourbon News", Washington, D.C.'s "The Colored American", and DeLand's own "Florida Agriculturist". Moving along, visitors can also use the newspaper directory to look for newspapers of interest from all over the country.
