Newspapers within the collection come from throughout the state, and include papers published in English, German, Spanish, Swedish and Japanese. CHNC provides access to over 1,700,000 and growing, digitized pages from these newspapers. Digitization of additional newspapers continues through a local fund-raising model with contributions made by local libraries, archives, museums, and other organizations. Newspapers are digitized from microfilm or from the original newspaper. For more information about the CHNC, see our help and forums page.
