Ind. Gov't. - Grant saves historic Ind. newspapers

The AP is reporting:

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Indiana newspapers that captured key moments in history will be digitally preserved through a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The Indiana State Library has received more than $293,000 for the project to digitally preserve significant newspapers. Indiana is one of 25 states participating in the National Digital Newspaper Program that targets newspapers published between 1836 and 1922.

State Archivist Jim Corridan says the grant will help give Hoosiers instant access to historic newspapers through the Internet.
