On a project-basis, the INP performs preservation microfilming of original newspapers and digitization of microfilmed newspapers.<\/p>\n<p>Today, our efforts are in the digitization of microfilmed or print newspapers. The INP manages the <a href=\"https:\/\/idnc.library.illinois.edu\/\">Illinois Digital Newspaper Collections<\/a> (IDNC), a digital newspaper database available to anyone, anywhere, at no cost.<\/p>\n<p>The INP can also help connect other cultural heritage organizations to digitization vendors, best practices and standards, and recommended workflows. If you have a digitized newspaper you wish to have included in the IDNC, we can assess the feasibility of inclusion (this is often dependent upon quality of digital imaging and metadata as well as time and resources).<\/p>\n<p>If you have digital newspaper files that you\u2019d like to see included in the IDNC, please fill out this <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.illinois.edu\/sec\/1983860659\">Donation Form<\/a> and our team will get in touch as soon as we can.<\/p>\n<p>Please also contact us before starting a newspaper digitization project.
