Several new titles, as well as new content for existing titles, have been added to the IDNC! Among the newspapers included are Black newspapers and newspapers in non-English languages, primarily Lithuanian and Polish. This batch also made 4 new Illinois counties available on the IDNC map! We’re happy to have added the first IDNC digital content for Macoupin, Piatt, Richland, and Union counties!
Last but not least…
These titles conclude the majority of our deal with Newspapers.com and our NDNP 2022 titles. There are a few more titles in the pipeline that are scheduled to be added next month. We’ve also received some digital file donations from libraries in our state. To those institutions who have donated, thank you for allowing us to include these newspapers in the Illinois Digital Newspaper Collections. This batch of newspapers put the Illinois Digital Newspaper Collections at over 3 million historical newspaper pages!
